(UPDATE) Tuesday: Student experiments launching from Wallops-
(From Shore Daily news info:)
The Wallops Flight Facility launched a Terrier-Improved Malemute sounding rocket at 6 a.m. Tuesday morning.
The rocket carried nine student-developed experiments to suborbital space as part of NASA’s RockSat programs. The experiments were developed by teams from universities and community colleges and include instruments to study greenhouse gasses, measure electron density and test a space-rated robotic arm.
The rocket was expected to reach an altitude of about 100 miles before descending by parachute into the Atlantic Ocean for recovery.
