A live stream of the launch will start 20 minutes before takeoff, and you can Watch it live here on Space.com, courtesy of Arianespace.

		Approximately one hour after takeoff, MetOp-C will separate from the upper stage of the rocket and enter a polar orbit more than 500 miles (800 kilometers) above Earth, where it will spend the next 5 years monitoring the Earth's climate and providing important information for meteorologists

		"The sun's synchronous polar orbit of the satellites not only places them in constant sunlight (which is convenient for charging solar panels), but also" allows global observation of climate, atmospheric composition, oceans and land surfaces. "Arianespace officials said in a description of the mission.

		MetOp-C will be the third and last satellite of the MetOp series of meteorological satellites, developed by the European Space Agency and operated by the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT). MetOp-A and MetOp-B were launched in 2006 and 2012, and those satellites are still working.
