Vega-C Rocket Triumphantly Returns to Space After Two-Year Hiatus

Arianespace's Vega C rocket launch has been delayed due to a mechanical issue with the mobile gantry, postponing the mission to December 5. This delay follows a similar postponement of the Proba-3 mission on an Indian PSLV-XL rocket due to a propulsion system anomaly. Despite the setback, ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher assured that there are no issues with the Sentinel-1C satellite or the Vega C rocket itself. Meanwhile, SpaceX successfully launched a Falcon 9 carrying Starlink satellites, highlighting the competitive nature of the space launch industry.
