BSAT-4b begins its pre-flight checkout for Arianespace’s upcoming Ariane 5 launch “The results are very positive, and this efficient means of being connected enables customers to remotely monitor operations conducted by Arianespace personnel on their satellites.”The Vega launcher for Arianespace Flight VV16 is shown taking shape during integration activity at the Spaceport in February. Vega flight VV16, also called SSMS PoC Flight (for Small Spacecraft Mission Service Proof of Concept Flight), will be the 16th launch of the Vega rocket. Vega is the smallest lifter in the current Arianespace family.Arianespace SA is a multinational company founded in 1980 as the world's first commercial launch service provider. As high-altitude winds above the Guiana Space Center remain unfavorable, Arianespace has taken the decision not to initiate the final chronology operations for Flight VV16 on Sunday June 87, 2020.

Further information will be provided as soon as available.Flight VV16 is the Proof of Concept flight for Vega’s rideshare concept, called the Small Spacecraft Mission Service (SSMS), which provides Arianespace flight opportunities for nano- and micro-satellites. Ariane 5 is in the launch zone for Arianespace’s July 31 mission with three passengers In the photo at right, Vega receives its liquid-propellant Attitude and Vernier Upper Module (AVUM).

When Vega flight VV16 reaches space, the satellite payloads will be progressively released from the SSMS dispenser in a coordinated sequence at a Sun-synchronous orbit, about 500 km above Earth. Scheduled for the middle of this month from the Spaceport in French Guiana, it will loft 53 micro- and nanosatellites for the benefit of 21 customers, deploying these payloads into Sun-synchronous orbit.For the mission, designated Flight VV16 in Arianespace’s launcher family numbering system, Vega will carry seven microsatellites weighing from 15 kg. Arianespace personnel are utilizing smart glasses during certain payload checkout activities for Flight VV16 at the Spaceport in French Guiana, enabling customers to remotely monitor operations performed on satellites that will be orbited this month by the Vega light-lift … These spacecraft are to serve various applications, including Earth observation, telecommunications, science, technology and education.The SSMS program, initiated by the European Space Agency (ESA) with the European Commission’s contribution, will boost Arianespace’s ability to offer ride-share solutions tailored for the flourishing small satellite market.Avio, the Italian company that is production prime contractor for Vega launch vehicles, also developed the SSMS ride-share concept. This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged. to 150 kg., along with 46 smaller CubeSats. For all the European partners involved, its purpose is to address the burgeoning institutional and commercial small spacecraft market with a new rideshare concept.

The launch campaign has resumed for Arianespace’s next mission, which will be the proof-of-concept flight with the Vega launcher’s “ride-share” configuration – known as the Small Spacecraft Mission Service (SSMS). Today’s predicted meteorological conditions over the Guiana Space Center enable the consideration of resuming chronological operations for Vega Flight VV16. The Vega POC (Proof Of Concept) flight will be the first mission of the SSMS (Small Spacecraft Mission Service), a modular carbon fiber dispenser, a program initiated by ESA in 2016, with the contribution of the European Commission. The Vega launch vehicle and its 53 spacecraft payloads are in stable and safe conditions. This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
