The Vega rocket has been cleared for launch overnight with Europe's LISA
Pathfinder technology demo mission, a probe heading to a station a million
miles from Earth to test systems for a future gravitational wave
observatory. Liftoff from French Guiana is set for 0404 GMT Thursday (11:04
p.m. EST Wednesday). There are no amateur payloads on this launch; enjoy the
rocket ...

Video will be webstreamed on www.arianespace.tv starting 20 minutes prior to
launch.

Spaceflightnow.com says they'll also cover the launch at:
http://spaceflightnow.com/2015/12/02/vv06-mission-status-center/  and they
also provide blog updates during the preparations for launch.

Have fun ...
