Yep, pretty great how things work some times. I had only looked at it 15 mins before launch to get a rough orbit estimate. Here's the broadcast warning for the AVUM deorbit. @esaoperations; can you confirm Aeolus will transmit at 2205MHz?

Vega | August 22, 2018

Liftoff of the Vega mission with Aeolus

Arianespace's latest Vega mission is now underway following today's liftoff from the Spaceport in French Guiana.

This flight will last just under 55 minutes from liftoff to separation of the Aeolus payload, which will be placed into a Sun-synchronous orbit.

ACQUISITION OF SIGNAL!! A spike appears in the spectrum from #NewNorcia showing #Aeolus is calling in loud and clear. As planned, controllers can see the signal but can't yet read data from it — for that we wait for @KSAT_Kongsberg to pick us up over #Troll in Antarctica

Aeolus separation! The 3,013 (1,367-kilogram) satellite is kicking off a three-year mission to measure global wind fields from orbit.

Loss of #Aeolus signal at #NewNorcia right on time. The newest satellite in orbit flies over the Australian horizon, headed for Antarctica
