"The plan is to use a Vega-C to launch the spacecraft in 2027, although other European launchers could be considered."
"Several sensors will be active during the re-entry, mainly measuring temperatures, deformations, and separation detection. The current baselined sensors are thermocouples for temperature measurements and strain gauges for deformations."
"ESA noted that there would be 200 sensors and four cameras recording the destruction."
"Most of the structure will be made from aluminium, which is expected to demise and therefore not survive re-entry."
