[UPDATE: Annnnd they scrubbed. Too much cloud cover.]
OK, technically, it’s just clouds. Still, could be interesting. It’s also a reasonably clear night here, so maybe we’ll even see something.
The launch of a Terrier-Improved Malemute sounding rocket to test a new ampoule ejection system for supporting studies of the ionosphere and aurora is scheduled for June 12 between 9:04 and 9:19 p.m. EDT from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility.
The launch was postponed during an attempt June 11 due to boats in the launch range hazard area.
The multi-canister ampoule ejection system flying on this mission will allow scientists to gather information over a much larger area than previously able.
