WALLOPS ISLAND, Va. (WAVY) — NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility launched a sounding rocket early Thursday morning.
The rocket was carrying student experiments to suborbital space for the RockOn and RockSat-C programs.
The experiments came from Old Dominion University and the Cubes in Space Program — a project which allows Virginia Beach students ages 11-18 to launch experiments on NASA missions.
The sounding rocket launched at 5:30 a.m. on June 20. The launch was streamed on NASA Wallops’ YouTube page here.
