Vega Space Rocket Fails At Launch

On Tuesday, A European space rocket failed minutes after taking off causing damage to the two satellites it was carrying, said its operator.

Having taken off at around 11 pm local time (0200 GMT) the launcher slowed before it encountered an unidentified anomaly, said Arianespace, the company overseeing the launch.

“The mission is lost,” CEO Stephane Israel said in a livestream to track the rocket.

At the moment there is no news about what caused the failure, but Arianespace said they were working to determine what went wrong.

The mission would have launched Spain’s first Earth observation satellite for the European Space Agency (ESA).
