T-4 minutes. This will mark the 6th night launch of the Arianespace Soyuz program; T0 will be 202 minutes and 34 seconds after sunset (10:03:34 PM local).
We've begun the Synchronized Sequence a while ago.

T-3 minutes. The Soyuz-STB Fregat-MT config will be used for the 12th time; it was mainly used for O3b and Galileo launches.

T+16 seconds. Everything continues to look good as the Soyuz initiates its roll and pitch programs to put itself on the proper trajectory.

T+1 minute, 10 seconds. The first stage boosters and second stage are burning well. All 17 engines providing 1,008,426 pounds of thrust; five main engines and twelve verniers.
We'll expect the boosters to cut off at 1 minute, 58 seconds. Simultaneously, they'll separate from the second stage, which will continue to burn.
