After scrubbing a previous launch attempt due to high level winds in the upper atmosphere, Arianespace has rescheduled the launch of the second Vega rocket for this evening, May 6th, at 10:06:31 p.m. Eastern.  The launch will take place from the  Guiana Space Center, which the consortium also humbly calls The Spaceport,  in Kourou, French Guiana.
