Material failure in an engine nozzle brought down Europe's premier small rocket in December.
The European Space Agency said on Friday the measures needed to address the failure meant that Vega-C would not fly again until later this year.
The rocket stage, or segment, that failed in December, was the Zefiro 40, which ignites about 144 seconds after lift-off. Vega-C is an upgraded version of an earlier vehicle simply known as Vega. Both have a total of four stages that they burn in sequence as they climb higher and higher into the sky."It will be by the end of summer," said Stéphane Israël, the CEO of Arianespace, the company that operates the rocket.
