J'ai été fier de participer au développement de Vega via le P80

Please remind that it was launched with an American rocket... The third country after USSR and USA to independantly launch its own satellite with its own rocket is your over-Alps neighbour ! 😁

Both Ariel 1 (UK) then Alouette 1 (Canada) were launched in 1962 with US launchers, so before Italy's San Marco 1 (1964). The statement is quite questionable!
