Orbital Inclinations Served
Target payload capacity applies to mid-inclination Low Earth Orbit over the product life cycle.
Target launch cadence is subject to spaceport availability and production capacity.
Vertotech Vega Advantage
Your Schedule
Designed to support a higher launch cadence, the Launch System 2 allows for increased annual availability of up to one launch per week. This enables you to deploy and maintain your satellite constellation according to your schedule with a responsive partner.
Your Orbits
Dedicated launches ensure that your satellites reach the exact orbit required for your mission, eliminating the wait associated with rideshares and orbital transfers. This accelerates your path to operational service.
Best-in-Class Economics
Vertotech Aerospace Vega focuses on providing the most affordable dedicated launch services, allowing you to invest more in spacecraft development rather than launch costs. Enjoy a cost-effective path to custom orbits with our competitive pricing.

VEGA II Overview
Vega II’s fairing is designed to support a broad range of missions – from individual ESPA Grande spacecraft deployments to dual ESPA spacecraft deployments and multi-cubesat rideshare missions. A flight-proven thermal protection system shields spacecraft on their way to orbit prior to fairing separation, which takes place during Vega 4’s upper stage burn.

Building a Global Spaceport Network
Vertotech’s launch services are currently available from two U.S. spaceports to a broad range of orbital inclinations.
We plan to provide more access to space from more places on Earth – with additional spaceports coming online in 2026 & beyond.
