Vega can put roughly 1500 kg into a polar orbit. Sentinel-1 will go into polar orbit but weighs 2500 kg. So, Sentinel-1 is a full metric ton outside the performance envelope of Vega.
V194 launch is expected on 21 or 22 May (also there are rumours about launching in early June) according to FCS.** I won't be able to update schedules for sometime. I hope someone to take over my job.

...A communications satellite for the Middle East and a South Korean multi-purpose spacecraft are due for launch in late June. Another Ariane 5 will blast off in late July, followed by more missions at a pace of nearly one per month through December, Le Gall said.http://www.spaceflightnow.com/ariane/v194/100513review/
...The satellite, to be launched by an Ariane rocket, will secure Ku-band continuity for Eutelsat and additional Ku-band resources for ictQatar and will provide Ka-band capability, opening business opportunities for both parties, the two companies said.http://www.zawya.com/Story.cfm/sidGN_11052010_120548/Qatar%20set%20to%20launch%20satellite%20in%202012
A VNPT official said May 12 that Europe’s Arianespace launch consortium had been selected to launch Vinasat 2 in May 2012 aboard either an Ariane 5 heavy-lift rocket or the European version of Russia’s Soyuz vehicle.
PARIS — Satellite broadband and ground-terminal provider Hughes Communications has won the approval of France’s export-credit agency, Coface, to provide loan guarantees for 85 percent of the cost of launching Hughes’ Jupiter all-Ka-band broadband satellite aboard a European Ariane 5 rocket in early 2012, Hughes and Arianespace announced May 5.
