Our friends at NASA plan to launch a suborbital rocket from the Wallops Flight Facility next week to test new rocket technologies.
NASA says in a news release that the Terrior-Improved Orion suborbital sounding rocket is scheduled to be launched from its Wallops Island facility between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. Tuesday. Backup launch days are Wednesday and Thursday.
The launch can be viewed from the facility's visitor center, which will be open at 7 a.m. on launch day. NASA also will webcast the launch and post status updates on Twitter (@NASA).
