The Temporary Grouping of Enterprises for the IOS mission includes Thales Alenia Space, Leonardo, Avio, D-Orbit, and Telespazio.
Avio received €103 million to develop the MR60 rocket engine, a more powerful variant of the MR10 engine developed under a European Space Agency contract.
Avio revealed specific testing on the propellant tank and the MR10 rocket engine while sharing images of other components of the FD1 demonstrator.
Avio successfully completed a static fire test of its MR10 DMX2 LOX-methane rocket engine in early October 2025.
In March 2023, Avio was awarded a €181 million contract for its Space Transportation System (STS) programme to mature key technologies for its Vega E successor.
Avio is currently in the integration and testing phase of the FD1 demonstrator at its manufacturing plant in Colleferro, Italy.
This was the first time Avio publicly revealed specific hardware intended for use aboard the first of two flight demonstrators being developed under its Space Transportation System (STS) programme.
The image of the fairing featured an Avio logo superimposed on that of Dal Zotto, an Italian aerospace component manufacturer.
On 28 October 2025, Avio published its nine-month financial report, which included an update on the development of its FD1 demonstrator.
The MR60 is described as the 'building block' of the post-Vega E 'Vega Next' launch vehicle, which Avio expects to introduce after 2032.
Avio completed a static load test of the FD1 demonstrator’s cryogenic propellant tank to verify its structural integrity under launch stresses.
Avio shared images of several flight components for its FD1 rocket demonstrator, including the fairing, propellant tanks, avionics, and interstage.
The development of the Ariane 6 oxygen turbopump will be transferred from Avio’s headquarters in Colleferro to Vernon.
Under the approved proposal, Avio will have 12 months to complete the capital raise through the issuance of new ordinary shares.
The final decision on whether a share premium will be applied and the number of shares to be issued rests with Avio's board.
Avio announced that its board had approved the capital raise as part of a new ten-year business plan focused on meeting rising demand in the global space and defense markets.
More than 99% of Avio shareholders voted in favor of the capital raise proposal.
Avio's board was delegated the authority to execute a future capital raise without seeking further shareholder approval.
The future capital increase can be up to 10% of Avio’s existing share capital before 23 October 2030 without requiring further shareholder approval.
Avio shareholders approved a proposal to initiate a €400 million capital increase during an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting.
