The rockets get their name from the nautical term “to sound,” meaning to take measurements. The facility launches about 25 sounding rockets a year, according to NASA. The launch was planned for earlier this week but was postponed because of weather conditions. “The second source is within the solar system and is generated by the solar wind charge exchange.” “The first source is located outside our solar system and is generated by remnants of multiple supernovae explosions forming what is now called the Local Hot Bubble region of our galaxy,” Galeazzi said in the release. Scientists think these X-rays come from two sources, said Massimiliano Galeazzi, the principal investigator for the mission from the University of Miami, Florida. Officials with NASA say Rocket Lab is planning a launch. They have lower energy than the X-rays used in the medical field. WALLOPS ISLAND, Va.- A rocket is expected to take off from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Accomack County in the near future. The launch may be visible, weather permitting, to residents throughout the mid-Atlantic region and possibly the East Coast of the United States. EST, Sunday, February 9, from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility. Soft X-rays aren’t harmful to people, but they can disturb radio communications and GPS systems, NASA said. Dress warm and step out to view the launch of Northrop Grumman’s Antares rocket at 5:39 p.m. 19, from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport’s Pad 0A on Wallops Island. The next Antares launch is scheduled for 12:39 p.m. Scientists hope the rocket will offer more insight into the source of soft X-rays, which “hurtle towards Earth from elsewhere in our galaxy,” the release said. It’s time for another winter launch of Northrop Grumman’s Antares rocket from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. The launch was set to visible in coastal regions from North Carolina to southern New York, weather permitting.
The sounding rocket launched at midnight, according to a tweet from the Wallops facility. Loaded with nearly 8,000 pounds of research, crew supplies, and hardware, Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus cargo spacecraft will launch on the company’s Antares rocket from Virginia Space’s Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.Night owls on the mid-Atlantic coast were treated to a show in the sky overnight as a NASA rocket launched from the Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Virginia.
WALLOPS ISLAND ROCKET LAUNCH SCHEDULE 2020 HOW TO
How to view the Northrop Grumman CRS-14 launch First orbital launch is currently scheduled for 2020, with commercial launch. The launch may be visible, weather permitting and depending on other local conditions (such as elevation), to residents up and down the East Coast of the United States. Companies including Rocket Lab, Relativity Space, Vector, Virgin Orbit.
Viewing is dependent upon weather conditions and other factors, such as elevation and the extent to which one’s view of the horizon is obstructed. The numbers in each colored circle represent the number of seconds after liftoff that the launch might become visible in the associated region.

A Northrop Grumman Antares rocket loaded with the company’s Cygnus resupply spacecraft is seen on the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport’s Pad-0A, Thursday, Oct. The five-minute launch window opens at 9:38 p.m. NASA commercial cargo provider Northrop Grumman is targeting tonight for the launch of its 14th resupply mission to the International Space Station. The countdown has started for the launch of Northrop Grumman’s Antares rocket carrying a Cygnus spacecraft with nearly 8,000 pounds of cargo and supplies for the International Space Station.
