NASA DELAYED RELEASE OF SOUNDING ROCKET LAUNCH UNTIL JUNE 11

 NASA has been postponed until June 11th, which releases blue-green and red artificial clouds. The Sounding Rocket's schedule was launched from NASA's Volls Flight Flight Facility, due to clouds affecting the ability to test the new Ambulog Ejection system designed to support Iaspier and Aurora studies."While the launch window runs through June 6, forecast weather is not conducive for supporting the test mission through the remainder of the window. The launch is now scheduled for not earlier than June 11, pending range availability," NASA said in a statement. The rocket will eject 10 canisters about the size of a soft drink can between 10 to 20 km from the rocket's main payload, and these containers will release the vapour between 4 and 5.5 minutes after launch.These clouds or vapour tracers allow scientists on the ground to visually track particle motions in space. The development of the multi-canister or ampule ejection system will allow scientists to gather information over a much larger area than previously allowed when deploying the vapour just from the main payload. Ground cameras will be stationed at Wallops and in Duck, North Carolina, to view the vapour tracers. Clear skies are required at one of the two ground stations for this test. The June 4 attempt was the fourth for this mission. The first two attempts were scrubbed due to winds and clouds. The third attempt was scrubbed due to boats in the launch hazard area.
