Officials have once again scrubbed the launch of experimental rockets from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Virginia's Eastern Shore.
Spokesman Keith Koehler says Saturday's scheduled launch was delayed because of cloud cover at the optical site in Charlottesville and weak ionosphere activity. The launch was rescheduled until 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday.
It was the third time the launch has been delayed. Weather issues prompted previous launch attempts to be scrubbed on Wednesday and Thursday.
The rockets are part of a project to study neutral and charged particles in the ionosphere where communications and global-positioning satellites send their signals.

Yeah right! I have a friend who works at Wallops. Let's just say that big brother will spare no expense to implement new technology that can track anyone at any time. Think about it. Why would you need TWO rockets to measure ions at twice the price? Hmm......think TRIANGULATION!
Is this one of the rockets that will dump lithium into the ionosphere?
