NASA Terrier-Improved Malemute Rocket Launching at Night in Virginia
The image captures the late-night launch of NASA's Terrier-Improved Malemute sounding rocket from the Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. The long exposure of the photo shows a bright trail as the rocket ascends into the night sky. This rocket event was unique as it released 10 canisters, deploying colorful blue-green and red vapor traces to form artificial clouds visible from New York to North Carolina, aiding scientific studies on the ionosphere and auroras. Suitable for educational content, science communication, aerospace technology promotion, and space-themed publications.
