RockOn sounding rocket successfully launches from Wallops - Shore Daily News
The RockOn! sounding rocket launch has been rescheduled for Thursday, Aug. 17, with a window of 6-10 a.m. EDT.
The mission had been postponed following an anomaly that occurred on the RockSat-X student sounding rocket launch on Wednesday, Aug. 16. Initial investigation shows that there was an issue with the RockSat-X second stage that led to the payload falling back down within the established hazard area. Teams are working on recovery of the payload and motor. The RockOn launch vehicle uses a different second stage, which has been cleared for flight.
The Wallops Visitor Center will open its gates at 5 a.m. for launch viewing. The live stream will begin 15 minutes before scheduled launch time.
