S5P will ride to orbit on a converted Russian intercontinental ballistic missile called a Rockot.
Lift-off from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome is scheduled for 12:27 local time.
Controllers will know they have a functioning satellite in position above the planet about an hour-and-a-half later when they first receive a radio communication from S5P.
The EU, with the help of the European Space Agency (Esa), is developing a constellation of satellites as part of its Copernicus programme.
