UPDATED: Two Wallops Launches set for Wednesday morning
(Shore Daily News)
Wednesday, 8/15/23:
The first rocket went off as scheduled on time, but the second was scrubbed due to what NASA called “an anomaly” this morning at the Wallops Flight Facility.
According to NASA, the anomaly occurred with the RockSat-X sounding rocket launch, the first rocket which shot off at 6:21 AM. NASA Range, safety and Sounding Rocket experts are investigating the cause of the anomaly.
Backup launch days are Aug. 16 through 18. No new launch date for the second launch has been set.
The rockets carried experiments developed by more than 30 university and community college teams as part of NASA’s RockOn Workshop and RockSat programs. Fifty percent of the RockOn teams are from minority serving institutions.
