The Vega-C will drop Smile off in a circular orbit 700 km above Earth’s surface. Smile will then take itself into a much more elongated orbit to go high above the North Pole.
Once set up in space, Smile will use four science instruments to look at how Earth responds to the solar wind from the Sun. This will improve our understanding of solar storms, geomagnetic storms and the science of space weather.

Europe’s Vega-C rocket can launch more than 3000 kg into space, carrying payloads ranging from small CubeSats to a large single payload like Smile. Vega-C is the evolution of the Vega family of rockets and delivers increased performance, greater payload volume and improved competitiveness.
