NASA to launch a sounding rocket over the Eastern seaboard
NASA is scheduled to launch a sounding rocket from its Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia on Tuesday morning.
The launch, expected between 6 and 9 a.m. EDT, may be visible as a 'streak of fire' across several Eastern US states.
The Terrier-Improved Malemute rocket is projected to reach an altitude of approximately 100 miles before descending into the Atlantic Ocean for recovery.
The rocket's payload includes experiments developed by eight university and community college teams participating in NASA's RockSat program.
The RockSat program aims to provide students with technical training and hands-on experience for the aerospace industry.
