NASA's Wallops Flight Facility Launch Today........Hopefully

Launch scrubbed because of boats in the impact area for the second stage motor. We will try again Sunday, June 4. The launch window is 4:26 to 4:41 a.m.EDT 

4:41 Launch has been scrubbed for today 
4:33Am Currently in the RED zone due to boats in the way.
They say third time is a charm. The countdown is on for the launch of the Terrier-Improved Malemute between 4:26 and 4:41 this morning. Launch attempts the two previous days have been scrubbed because of high upper winds or clouds. Let's hope today things come together. The mission is testing a new deployment system to support space science studies Blue-green and red artificial clouds that will be produced as part the test may be seen from New York to North Carolina.


Payload checks are complete for the Terrier-Improved Malemute launch this morning. The mission is testing a new deployment system to support space science studies Blue-green and red artificial clouds that will be produced as part the test may be seen from New York to North Carolina. Curious why scientists use vapor tracers for space research? More can be found at https://www.nasa.gov/mission_…/sounding-rockets/…/index.html
