[Scan-DC] Wallops Launch

[Andrew Leyden]

The June 4 launch is a 'Black Brant' XII sounding rocket.  This is a video from Wallops of one of those launches.

There are a couple Minotaur launches planned over the next years. Those are bigger rockets going into orbit.

I think one of the radio stations nearby carries the launch audio so you can listen in.
