The Vega P80 thrust vector control system validation model, a structural model representative of the interstage 0/1 stiffness and the actuator attachment points, with a pressure vessel for the nozzle flexible joint. The thrust cone is visible, inverted within the test apparatus. The exit of the nozzle is closed so that it and the flexible joint on which it moves can be pressurised to simulate flight conditions. The pressurisation system is below the metallic floor.
