NASA scrubs rocket launch from Wallops

By WTOP Staff

WALLOPS ISLAND, Va. (AP) — A rocket launch from Virginia’s Eastern Shore has been scrubbed again.

NASA says it postponed the scheduled launch of the SubTec-6 on Monday morning because of boats in the hazard area and poor science conditions.

The launch from NASA’s Wallops Island Facility also was scrubbed over the weekend. It has been rescheduled for 4:35 a.m. Tuesday.

NASA plans to test a deployment system for forming vapor clouds and other new suborbital rocket technologies.
