This is a small rocket called a sounding rocket. You can watch it go off on line. It was to go off last night but they moved it back one day.

Another rocket launch tonight. NASA is shooting this one off from Wallops Island, Va. between 7 and 9 pm.

You will be able to see in the Mid Atlantic States. This one will also have a vapor trail and put on a show. We are used to seeing them here in Florida but it could be tin foil hat time over the Mid Atlantic region.

If you live in the region keep an eye in the sky this evening and enjoy the show.

I am 4 hours away from Cape Canaveral on the other side of the state. I haven't been over there in 10 years. If the weather is good and we know there is going to be a launch we can sometimes see the vapor trail. It also depends on what time of the day to, in order to see the vapor trail. The sun needs to be at an angle. They have been shooting them off on sunrise the last few months. This is the first time we saw this type of rocket. From what I saw on You Tube the Atlas V puts on quite a show with its vapor trail. I think there is another one to go off on Thursday but I am not sure about the schedule. I really don't follow NASA that close. I have been googling to find their schedule but must be looking under the wrong rock.

The weather geeks at Ruskin NOAA Doppler Radar posted some good pictures they took as it went up on Face book. I had to go in and find my camera. National Weather Service Tampa Florida is their Face book page. I am 25 miles south west of them. They are my go to for weather.
