Another Successful Launch At Wallops Island

It was another successful launch Thursday at NASA in Wallops Island. The Terrier-Orion sounding rocket launched Thursday afternoon. It's much smaller than the Tac Sat 3 rocket launched earlier this month.

It's mission is to act as a research vessel to collect information. The goal is that engineers will be able to figure out how to best bring experiments to Earth from the International Space Station.

Speaking of the ISS, NASA officials plan to launch the shuttle Endeavour on June 13 to deliver parts for a Japanese laboratory complex to the International Space Station. That launch will take place at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Shuttle Atlantis just returned from its mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope last weekend.
