RockOn Launch

NASA's Wallops Flight Facility is scheduled to launch a sounding rocket for the RockOn mission on Thursday, Aug. 17, with a window of 10:00-14:00 UTC The rockets will carry multiple student experiments to suborbital space. The mission had been postponed following an anomaly that occurred on the RockSat-X student sounding rocket launch on Wednesday, Aug. 16. Initial investigation shows that there was an issue with the RockSat-X second stage. The RockOn launch vehicle uses a different second stage, which has been cleared for flight.
