Owing to electrical issues, the VV24 Vega launch with Copernicus Sentinel-2C planned for 4 September was postponed. Arianespace has confirmed a new launch attempt for 5 September at 03:50 CEST (4 September 22:50 local time in French Guiana). 

The launcher and its passenger, the Copernicus Sentinel-2C satellite, are in stable and safe conditions.
