Wallops rocket launch to be visible this weekend
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — If you’ve missed out on previous rocket launches visible in the Cape Fear sky, you’ll have another shot this weekend.
NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia is planning a rocket launch for Saturday between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.
The 59-foot-tall Electron rocket will lift off from Launch Complex 2 at Virginia Space’s Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport on Wallops Island.
The Cape Fear is expecting mostly clear skies throughout the 2-hour launch window.
Officials say our area should be able to see the rocket around two minutes after launch.
