Replay of the liftoff of Vega VV04 with ESA's Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle, IXV, , French Guiana on 11 February 2015.
IXV was launched 340 km into space atop a Vega rocket, VV04, from Kourou in French Guiana on 11 February 2015. After separation from Vega, IXV coasted to 412 km before beginning a punishing glide back through the atmosphere.
During its autonomous flight, IXV tested the latest technologies and critical systems to extend Europe's capability for space exploration.
