[Scan-DC] Wallops launch tomorrow evening

[Andrew Clegg]

The following may provide some scanner opportunities. Perhaps others on the 
list could suggest some possible frequencies for support operations? The 
launch is supposed to be at 8:28 tomorrow evening. It's 8:38 right now, and 
it still looks pretty bright outside, so perhaps no trail will be visible 
from here. Also, I believe it's supposed to be cloudy, so any activity from 
here may be limited to what we hear on our scanners.

NASA plans to launch a new military satellite from a Virginia spaceport late 
Tuesday (June 28), a flight that could potentially create a spectacular 
sight for skywatchers along the U.S. East Coast.

The U.S. Air Force's Minotaur 1 rocket is slated to blast off from a NASA 
launch range at the Wallops Flight Facility and Mid-Atlantic Regional 
Spaceport at 8:28 p.m. EDT (0028 GMT).
