According to Spaceflight Now's Launch Schedule, ESA's Proba-V Earth-observation vegetation-observing satellite is currently scheduled to launch on a Vega booster late Friday (May 3rd) or early Saturday (May 4rd) depending on your time zone - about 2 AM GMT.

ESA Website about Proba-V

ESA info about the vegetation instrument: here, here, and here

It will also carry guest payloads: two radiation-detecting instruments, a fiber optics experiment, aircraft tracking and a gallium nitride semiconductor in its communication system.
