NASA Wallops Flight Facility

WALLOPS ISLAND, VA- A sounding rocket is set to lift off from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility.

NASA officials say the rocket may be visible in the Chesapeake Bay area between Thursday and Monday.

They say the launch will be for Department of Defense organizations, so a launch time, live stream, or launch updates will not be available. However, they plan to confirm if the launch was a success.
