A sounding rocket is set to take off from Wallops Flight facility this morning between 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. after the launch was scrubbed yesterday.
The payload consists of the several Wallops engineering projects as well as experiments from West Virginia University.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that the test will confirm ionospheric and upper-atmospheric theories.
In addition, the tests will assess weather conditions in space.
