NASA will try to launch its artificial cloud-spawning rocket Saturday, June 24, between 9:07 p.m. EDT and 9:22 p.m. EDT (0107-0122 GMT), after a series of delays due to weather. You can watch it here beginning at 8:30 p.m. EDT (0030 GMT). NASA will provide an update on the next launch attempt here.
The rocket will launch to test a canister deployment system designed to eject ampoules containing gas that can create glowing artificial clouds in the night sky. Clear weather is vital for mission scientists in order to record the cloud deployment using ground-based cameras at the launch site - NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Virginia, and in Duck, North Carolina.
If you live near the Wallops Island area in Virginia and would like to watch the sounding rocket launch in person, NASA's Wallops Flight Facility Visitors Center will open to the public at 8 p.m. EDT.
...
"The NASA Visitor Center at Wallops will open at 8 p.m. on launch day for viewing the flight.
"Live coverage of the mission is scheduled to begin at 8:30 p.m. on the Wallops Ustream site. Launch updates also are available via the Wallops Facebook and Twitter sites."

Hmmmm..... Did you know that we still cannot ‘model’ clouds? That’s right, all of the Globull Gloaming computer ‘models’ that always predict Gloom and Doom have no way of inserting the clouds into their ‘formula.’ Between no cloud modeling, and ignoring that huge bright light in the heavens (the Sun), these ‘models’ are a joke. Or they would be a joke if they weren’t so focused on destroying the free enterprise system.
Creepozoids All.
And then, the earthquake.
Something doesn't seem right. What is the purpose of this test?
In college Earth Science class, I did a report on NASA ionospheric tests that were conducted back around 1970. Rockets fired from somewhere around Mobile, Al went high up and released reflective material that created glowing clouds 15-20 miles up in the sky. The clouds were a reflection of post-twilighe sunlighte way the heck up in the sky. Caused people to freak out and call police to report UFOs.
+1. :)
I need to bookmark it. I like to observe NASA discoveries. It’s always so exciting to watch. I also like to hang out on http://solarstory.net/discovery/ . There are many interesting articles and videos.
I’m not sure which is cooler, the breakers or the pagoda.
