Email: [email protected] Abstract SABCA has designed electrical Thrust Vector Control (TVC) systems for the new VEGA-C launcher stages, based on the experience and lessons learned of the VEGA TVCs in operation since the first VEGA flight in February 2012. The paper presents the main drivers and lessons learned introduced in the design of this new generation of TVC systems. 1. Introduction The VEGA-C launcher, currently under development, is the evolution of the VEGA European launcher. It has been introduced to Increase performances, with a 2200 kg load capacity in LEO (a 700 kg increase with regard to VEGA) Reduce operating costs Reduce dependency on non-European sources Like VEGA, VEGA-C consists of 3 stages based on solid propulsion engines and a 4th stage based on a liquid propulsion engine. The first stage is based on the new P120C solid rocket motor, which is the largest monolithic carbon fibre SRM ever built. The P120C motor is also used as booster for the new Ariane 6 launcher, serving as a common building block for both launchers.

  • Expendable Launch Vehicle Propulsion
    N91-28199 NASA Space Transportation Propulsion Technology Symposium EXPENDABLE LAUNCH VEHICLE PROPULSION June 1990 P.N. Fuller, Chairman COMSTAC Technology & Innovation Working Group 131 CONTENTS This presentation will review the current status of the U.S. ELV fleet, the international competition, and the propulsion technology of both domestic and foreign expendable launch vehicles. The ELV propulsion technology areas where research, development, and demonstration are most needed will be identified. These propulsion technology recommendations are based on the work performed by the Commercial Space Transportation Advisory Committee (COMSTAC), an industry panel established by the Department of Transportation. Expendable Launch Vehicle Propulsion Contents • Introduction • COMSTAC • Domestic ELV Launch Fleet • Foreign ELV Launch Fleet . ELV Propulsion Systems • ELV Propulsion Technology Needs • Conclusions 132 INTRODUCTION There have been extensive changes in America's space launch architecture since the Challenger tragedy occurred in January 1986. The major impact has been the revival of the U.S. Expendable Launch Vehicle (ELV) fleet in response to changes in National Space Launch policy. The NASA and the Air Force have adoped use of a "Mixed Fleet" of space launchers, and have prohibited.the Shuttle Space Transportation System (STS) from competing for launch of commercial payloads. The availability of this diverse stable of launch systems has helped to assure access to space for critical payloads. The foundation for a commercial launch industry has been established in the United States for the Delta, Atlas, and Titan III launch systems. The NASA and Air Force have provided a base for a commercial launch industry by long-range procurements of ELV launch services, and access to government facilities.

  • Arianespace Procures First Batch of Upgraded Vega-C Rockets, Preps for Last Ariane 5 Order
    Arianespace procures first batch of upgraded Vega-C rockets, preps for last Ariane 5 order September 28, 2017 Stephen Clark This artist’s illustration shows the lineup of European rockets currently flying or scheduled to debut in the next few years. From left to right: Vega, Vega-C, Ariane 5 ECA, Ariane 62 and Ariane 64. Credit: ESA–David Ducros, Jacky Huart, 2016 Arianespace has split its third order of Vega rockets from Italy’s Avio between old and new versions of the solid-fueled booster, as officials prepare to build a final batch of around 18 Ariane 5 rockets before switching to the next-generation Ariane 6 in the early 2020s. The French launch company announced Wednesday the signature of a long-anticipated contract for 10 more Vega launchers from Avio, Vega’s prime contractor. It marks the third order of Vega rockets from the Italian manufacturer, bringing the total number of Vega vehicles purchased to 26. Six of the vehicles ordered by Arianespace will come in the same basic Vega configuration that has successfully launched 10 times since debuting in February 2012. Avio will also build the first four upgraded Vega-C launchers, featuring more powerful rocket motors and an enlarged payload fairing to haul bigger satellites into orbit. Meanwhile, Arianespace is in the final stages of negotiating with its parent company, Ariane Group, to order around 18 more Ariane 5 rockets, the last batch of Ariane 5s to be built after more than 20 years of launches. Arianespace expects to sell the additional Ariane 5 flights to commercial customers and European governments for launches through the early 2020s.

  • Preparing for Vega
    N°23 - September 2001 PreparingPreparing forfor Editorial oming back after fifteen years to take VVega...ega... C charge of the Directorate of Launchers makes me feel rather like a latter-day Ulysses. Like him, I am struck by the magnitude of the changes that have taken place. I remembered Launchers as an engineers’ paradise, but find myself in a hard-nosed business world. There have been some revolutionary changes. Firstly, we’ve had a commercial revolution, the signal for which, in Europe, was given with the creation of Arianespace. Secondly, there is structural revolution, with vertical industry consolidation in the USA and Europe. At the same time, a far-reaching cultural revolution has taken place. Just try to imagine fifteen years ago someone suggesting that Russian rocket engines might be used in US Air Force launchers! Amidst all these changes, things have been remarkably quiet on one front: most of the technology we use today dates back fifteen years. This is a challenge that has yet to be faced. Ariane is a paragon of excellence in Europe. If we are going to consolidate and build on it, the launcher sector must adapt to the larger world around us. We need to broaden the role played by governments, including strategic investment and market intervention. We need to open the sector to international cooperation, while strengthening European solidarity. Finally, we must greatly accelerate the development of new technologies. ■ Jean-Jacques Dordain Director of Launchers European Space Agency http://www.esa.int/launchers Directorate
