The final countdown for tonight's launch began at 1642 GMT (11:42 a.m. EST). Power-up of the Vega rocket began around 1927 GMT (2:27 p.m. EST) to begin testing of its on-board computer and navigation systems.

The Vega's navigation was to be aligned and verified functional at around 2102 GMT (4:02 p.m. EST).

The launch team will receive a weather briefing before rollback of the Vega launch facility's mobile gantry at 2212 (5:12 p.m. EST). The launch pad's mobile service tower will be retracted into launch position, rolling on rails to a point 260 feet (80 meters) from the Vega rocket.

The launcher's navigation system will be tested again at 2302 GMT (6:02 p.m. EST), and Vega's telemetry transmitters and transponders are set to be activated after the rollback of the launch pad gantry around 0037 GMT (7:37 p.m. EST).

Engineers will verify the readiness of Vega's systems at 0047 GMT (7:47 p.m. EST), and a final pre-launch weather briefing is scheduled for 0142 GMT (8:42 p.m. EST).

The synchronized launch sequence takes over the countdown about four minutes prior to liftoff. The computer-controlled final sequence checks thousands of parameters in the final steps of the countdown.

After liftoff, Vega will clear the pad's four lightning towers and pitch north from the Guiana Space Center, heading over the Atlantic Ocean and surpassing the speed of sound in about 30 seconds.

The Vega's solid-fueled P80FW first stage, producing a maximum of 683,000 pounds of thrust, burns out 114 seconds after liftoff, giving way to the launcher's Zefiro 23 second stage at an altitude of about 33 miles (53 kilometers).

After a 103-second burn, the second stage consumes its propellant and separates. The Vega's third stage, the Zefiro 9 motor, then ignites before jettison of the rocket's Swiss-built 8.5-foot-diameter (2.6-meter) payload fairing.

Vega's third stage fires for more than two minutes, turning off and separating around 6 minutes, 30 seconds after liftoff.

The fourth stage, known as AVUM, ignites its liquid-fueled Ukrainian RD-843 engine around eight minutes into the mission, burning for nearly eight minutes to reach a transfer orbit above Earth.

After coasting for about 37 minutes, the AVUM fourth stage will fire again at Plus+52 minutes for more than a minute to reach a circular 416-mile-high (670-kilometer) orbit for deployment of the Spanish SEOSAT-Ingenio Earth observation satellite.

The Vespa adapter structure covering the French Taranis satellite will separate about 61 minutes into the mission, followed by two more AVUM upper stage burns at Plus+1 hour, 2 minutes, and Plus+1 hour, 38 minutes, to place Taranis in a slightly higher 420-mile-high (676-kilometer) orbit.

The Taranis satellite is scheduled to separate from the Vega rocket's upper stage at Plus+1 hour, 42 minutes.

#SEOSATIngenio will be placed into orbit at an altitude of roughly 670 km. From here, it will provide high-resolution images of Earth's land cover that will have extensive use for cartography, land-use monitoring, urban development and water management

T-minus 2 minutes and counting. The four-stage launcher is being transitioned to internal battery power and disconnected from its ground power source. The target launch time of 8:52:20 p.m. EST (10:52:20 p.m. French Guiana time; 0152:20 GMT) has been loaded into the Vega's on-board computer.
