Vega flight VV19 was the 19th launch of the Vega rocket.[1]
Payload[edit]
The main payload was the Pléiades Neo 4 satellite, complemented by 5 auxiliary payloads: BRO-4, SUNSTORM, LEDSAT, and RADCUBE. With their adapters and dispensers, the total payload mass was approximately 1,029 kilograms (2,269 lb).[1]
Pléiades Neo 4[edit]
Pléiades Neo 4, with a launch mass of about 922 kg (2,033 lb) and a design lifetime of 10 years, was in the upper position. It was injected into its target sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of about 620 km (semi-major axis of about 6998 km) and mean local time of the descending node approximately equal to 10:30, at the opposite of its twin Pléiades Neo 3 launched earlier onboard Vega flight VV18. It is Airbus's 133rd satellite launched by Arianespace.[1]
4 auxiliary passengers[edit]
BRO-4, SUNSTORM, LEDSAT, and RADCUBE, were in the lower position and were separated from the launcher into a slightly different sun-synchronous orbits at an altitude of approximately 547 km and mean local time of the descending node also approximately equal to 10:30.[1]
Flight[edit]
The flight was successfully launched from the ELV launch pad in Kourou, Centre Spatial Guyanais on 16 August 2021 (local time).[2]
