TL;DR Summary

A Vega rocket successfully launched a dozen small satellites, including THEOS-2 and FORMOSAT-7R/TRITON, from the European spaceport at Kourou, French Guiana. The launch marked the first for the Vega family since the failure of the more powerful Vega C in December 2022. The Vega C remains grounded due to an anomaly during a static-fire test, and its return to flight has been delayed to the fourth quarter of 2024. A final launch of the original version of Vega is planned for the second quarter of 2024.
