Friday, Arianespace released its findings from its independent review commission\u2019s investigation into December\u2019s Vega-C failure, blaming a Ukrainian supplier. Now, it looks like Ukraine disagrees with the commission\u2019s findings.<\/p>\n

Ukraine Space Agency rebukes the blame<\/h2>\n

In a statement, the Ukrainian State Space Agency claimed that the commission seated by Arianespace and European Space Agency officials released its finding prematurely. The results blamed a Carbon-Carbon insert found inside Vega-C\u2019s second-stage engine bell. According to the commission, the Carbon-Carbon was found to have errors in its makeup of materials, failing standards for the launch.<\/p>\n

According to Ukraine, its experts that took part in the investigation did not see the same conclusion, and all materials supplied by manufacturers were in compliance. The agency also stated it was only informed about the decision by the media. Nevertheless, Ukraine calls on Arianespace and the ESA to continue investigating the Vega-C launch failure.<\/p>\n

On the contrary, Arianespace said in its statement that the Ukrainian company has already begun work to replace the Carbon-Carbon insert. So now the question is, who\u2019s right?<\/p>\n
