After being delayed again due to high altitude winds VEGA lifted off yesterday evening in Guiana. There is a great video you can watch which shows the build up to the liftoff, the liftoff, and the successful completion of the mission.
The link below has the video. The launch is 20 minutes in, and the rocket enters space about 28 minutes in. Then the satelites are deployed. Throughout the video is a nice commentary by several ESA experts about the physics behind the mission, the objectives and the outcomes.
