[Scan-DC] NASA Wallops Virginia Rocket Launch

[Keith Stein]

On Tuesday (March 15), a group of students from Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, 
plan to launch of a single-stage Orion sounding rocket from NASA's Wallops 
Flight Facility on Virginia's Eastern Shore. The rocket carries a 194-pound 
Mesospheric Aerosol-Genesis and Composition (MAGIC) experiment designed to 
collect dust particles in the mesospheric range of the atmosphere. The 
MAGIC experiment was developed under the direction of personnel from the 
Naval Research Lab, Washington, D.C.

The launch window runs from 6 to 9 a.m. Eastern Time.

I haven't monitored a launch from Wallops in a long time so I'm not sure 
how reliable the following information is but here are some frequencies 
I've used in the past;

121.700 - Wallops Clearance Delivery
121.950 - Range surveillance aircraft
123.400 - Range surveillance aircraft
126.500 - Wallops Tower
132.550 - Washington Center
156.600 - NASA Control
311.200 - Range surveillance aircraft

N720C (King Air 720C) has provided range surveillance in the past.
