[Scan-DC] And there will be a live webcast RE: NASA to launch Terrier rocket from Wallops Island

[Rick]

Students from a local university, Capitol Technology University, are sending
up an experiment on the rocket. Allegedly they are going to try again
tomorrow (Wednesday) at 6AM. The live webcast is here:

I wonder if you can see the launch from Ocean City?

WALLOPS ISLAND, Va. (WUSA9) -- The launch window is now open at Wallops
Island, Virginia. NASA plans to send up a sub-orbital rocket sometime this
week between 6 and 10 a.m. 

The Terrier-Improved Malemute suborbital sounding rocket is carrying
experiments from several schools, including Virginia Tech. The team built
their own 3D printer to operate in space with the intention of collecting
information about the effects of changing gravitational loads on 3D
printing. Virginia Tech will then share their results and make any
improvements to their 3D printer design based on those results. 

The rocket is expected to reach an altitude of 94 miles and people along the
Eastern Shore should get a good view of it.  

If there's no clear window to launch Tuesday, the launch could happen
Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday.
