The topic of this paper is to present the telemetry system for the new Vega launcher. The use of telemetry system during flight testing of civil and military aircraft is a daily activity at Dassault Aviation’s Istres Flight Test Center in the south of France. Based on these skills, the company has a long committment with French space agency CNES to provide ground telemetry systems to Ariane familly launchers. In 2007 and 2008, CNES awarded Dassault Aviation respectively to adapt the Ariane-5 system for the Russian Soyuz launcher and the European Vega.
