The European Space Agency (ESA) Council has adopted a resolution setting the way for the ESA-developed Vega launcher to be commercialised by its prime contractor, Avio. The Resolution follows from an earlier resolution that the ESA Council adopted in Seville on 6 November 2023, calling upon the ESA Member States and the Director General to initiate a review of the legal framework governing the exploitation of ESA-developed launchers with the objective that Avio could become the operator and launch service provider of Vega as soon as possible
