VERTA programme

The VERTA (Vega Research and Technology Accompaniment) programme aims to demonstrate the flexibility of the Vega launch system. It comprises three main elements:

  • Procurement of five VERTA demonstration flights;
  • Customer service improvements;
  • Production accompaniment and technological activities.

The first VERTA flight is scheduled to take off in the first half of 2013 following the launcher's qualification flight.

At a planned minimum rate of two launches per year, the programme will allow the smooth introduction of Vega for commercial exploitation.
