The clearest price comparison for a #VegaC 🇪🇺 launch is India’s 🇮🇳 #PSLV rocket, which has a comparable payload capacity to #LEO. The figure is less than half 📊 the stated sticker price of a Vega C flight.

Europe’s most powerful rocket carries 32 satellites into space.
The most powerful version of Europe’s Ariane 6 rocket Thursday carried 32 satellites into space for the Amazon Leo network, which aims to rival Elon Musk’s Starlink.
The largest number of satellites ever carried by an Ariane rocket successfully separated and set off toward their final orbit to applause at the control centre.
