NASA Five Suborbital Sounding Rockets Launch with Chemical Tracers, March 2012
NASA launched five suborbital sounding rockets from Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia to study the upper level jet stream. Each rocket released a chemical tracer creating milky white clouds at the edge of space. These tracers help track wind movements 65 miles above Earth, aiding in the development of models for electromagnetic space regions. This visual was observable from Wilmington, N.C., Charlestown, W. Va., and Buffalo, N.Y. Useful for educational content, scientific articles on atmospheric studies, and space exploration visuals.
