Conclusion To Wallops Island Rocket Launch

Posted in Skies, Sky, Space

After three scrubs of the Minotaur 1 rocket with the TacSat-3 satellite at Wallops Island the fourth time was the ticket. The rocket took off around 7:55pm EST with a loud roar and a quick pace into orbit. I will fill in more details of the launch and video but right now its late and I have so much material to look at and process for this post. Here are a couple of unedited shots from tonight’s launch of the rocket..

Again, I saw that launch from Virgina Beach. Right near the Chesapeake Bay. I plan to go to the next launch but let me find the pictures I got of it.

I went there a few days before (The scrubbed it last minute)Hey if you remember that loud noise we had earlier this year(The sonic boom) I would have killed for a picture of that…
