REPLAY: Vega-C launch of Sentinel-1C from French Guiana (5 Dec 2024)

This is a replay of the live stream.
Launch time: 4:20 pm EST (21:20 UTC)
Launch site: Europe's Spaceport, Kourou, French Guiana
Destination: Low Earth Orbit
Marking its return to flight, a Vega-C rocket will launch the Sentinel-1C into a sun-synchronous Earth orbit at an altitude of about 700 km (435 mi.). The mission, also referred to as VV25, will deliver the latest satellite that makes up the European Union’s Copernicus fleet, a flagship Earth observation program. The mission is being overseen by Arianespace.
Delayed from Dec 3 due to “the need to conduct further precautionary checks and activities on launcher preparation and finalization.” Delayed from Dec 4 "due to a mechanical issue preventing the withdrawal of the mobile gantry."
