Watch live coverage as an Avio Vega-C rocket launches the Sentinel-3C satellite, for the European Commission’s Copernicus program and the FLEX (FLuorescence EXplorer) satellite, for the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Earth Explorer program. Liftoff from Europe’s Spaceport, Kourou, French Guiana, is scheduled for Monday, September 14, at 10:21 p.m. Kourou time (9:21 p.m. EDT / 0121 UTC).
The mission, designated VV30, is the second Vega-C flight managed by Avio and the eighth flight of a Vega-C rocket to date. The rocket will take a northerly trajectory as it targets a Sun-synchronous Earth orbit.
