The independent commission will conduct a thorough examination of the incident, analyzing the root cause of the failure and providing recommendations to prevent similar incidents in the future. The commission's findings will be crucial in ensuring the reliability and safety of future Vega rocket launches, and Arianespace and the ESA are committed to transparency and cooperation throughout the investigation process.
