Sòphia High Tech Flight Hardware on Board VEGA-C VV30 as the European Launcher Carries Sentinel-3C and FLEX into Orbit

Genenta Science (Nasdaq: GNTA), evolving into Saentra Forge, said Sòphia High Tech — the Italian aerospace manufacturer in which Genenta made a strategic 2026 investment — built the Spring Assembly aboard the VEGA-C VV30 rocket that lifted off September 15, 2026 from Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. The Spring Assembly sits in the interstage between the Zefiro 40 second stage and Zefiro 9 third stage and executes controlled stage separation; Sòphia HT has produced the component in serial production since 2018. VV30 carried the Copernicus Sentinel-3C and ESA's FLEX Earth-observation satellites, both built by Thales Alenia Space. CEO Pierluigi Paracchi framed the flight as validation of the flight-qualified Italian engineering platform Genenta is assembling as it pivots from biotech into an aerospace, defense, national security and biotechnology consolidator. The release discloses no financial figures, contract values, or revenue contribution; the Saentra Forge name change remains subject to shareholder approval and forward-looking statements cite risk around closing the Sòphia High Tech transaction.
