Ukraine’s Government Criticizes Vega C Investigation
Ukraine's government has recently criticized the investigation into the Vega C rocket launch failure. The Vega C rocket was launched on July 10th, 2020, from the Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana. The rocket was carrying two Earth observation satellites, the SEOSAT-Ingenio and the TARANIS, for the European Space Agency (ESA). Unfortunately, the launch failed and the rocket exploded shortly after takeoff. The cause of the failure is still unknown, but an investigation has been launched by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and the ESA to determine what went wrong.
