Story Brief

ESA is considering shifting the launch of its two Harmony satellites from Vega C to a two-booster Ariane 6 rocket.

The European Space Agency has published a Request for Information (RFI) that suggests it is considering shifting the launch of its Harmony satellites from Vega C to Ariane 6.

In October 2024, ESA awarded OHB a €280 million contract to develop and build a pair of satellites for its Harmony mission, which will monitor shifts in the shape of Earth's land surface caused by earthquakes and volcanic activity.
