Vega VV04 Carrying ESA's Experimental Spaceplane, IXV, During Liftoff

KOUROU, FRENCH GUIANA - FEBRUARY 11: In this handout photo released by the European Space Agency (ESA), ESA's Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle, IXV, is ready for its launch and reentry mission on February 11, 2015 Kourou, French Guiana. This IXV mission will test cutting-edge system and technology aspects to provide Europe with an independent reentry capability, and a building block for reusable space transportation systems. It will validate designs for lifting-bodies, incorporating both the simplicity of capsules and the performance of winged vehicles, with high controllability and manoeuvrability for precision landing.
