Video: Testing technologies for Europe's Intermediate Experimental Vehicle

IXV, Europe's Intermediate Experimental Vehicle, will soon be launched by Vega into a suborbital path.

As it reenters the atmosphere, IXV will test new critical technologies to advance Europe's ambition to return autonomously from space.
