Massachusetts residents eagerly waiting to watch a rocket launch the past few days may have to continue their wait.
The liftoff of a National Aeronautics and Space Administration rocket from a Virginia launching site Friday night was postponed three days in a row to Monday night due to weather issues. The mission aims to study Northern Lights-style atmospheric reactions.
“LAUNCH SCRUBBED,” NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility wrote in a tweet. “Tonight’s Black Brant XII sounding rocket carrying the KiNET-X payload has been postponed to no earlier than Monday, May 10, at 8:04 p.m. The launch has been postponed due to upper level winds not being within the required limits for a safe launch.”
