NASA Wallops@NASAWallops·Three rockets? Hold my balloon. 🎈 Our balloon teams are in New Mexico, preparing to launch seven scientific balloons for their fall campaign. The missions will carry scientific experiments and technology demonstrations to suborbital space.Learn more: https://go.nasa.gov/3HFtpyh
NASA Wallops@NASAWallopsThe TOMEX+ sounding rocket mission is now targeting no earlier than Sunday, Aug. 24, for the first launch attempt due to high sea states in the recovery area from Hurricane Erin.
Marcia Smith@SpcPlcyOnlineFor those in the DC area, there's a sounding rocket launch from Wallops that *might* be visible in the southeastern sky tonight. A pretty long window, though: 10:00 p.m. - 3:00 a.m. ET.
NASA Wallops@NASAWallopsLAUNCH SCRUB❗ Tonight's launch of the TOMEX+ sounding rockets has been scrubbed due to continuous cloud cover at the launch and camera sites. The next launch opportunity is Aug. 26 with the window opening at 10:30 p.m. EDT.Last edited10:06 PM · Aug 25, 2025
NASA Wallops@NASAWallopsIt's night three for TOMEX+!The window for tonight's launch attempt, Aug. 27, opens at 10:30 p.m. EDT and runs through 3:30 a.m. Launch window means we can launch any time within that timeframe.Right now, our biggest concern for launch is clouds in the area. Stay tuned for updates!

EasternShoreSpaceflight@EShoreSpacefltLogistics Watch — NASA Wallops / Rocket Lab NeutronWe’ve been tracking the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dredger MURDEN as it makes its way up the Virginia Eastern Shore this morning. If it turns toward Sloop Gut near Wallops, that could point to maintenance dredging—exactly the kind of prep that makes barge access easier for moving larger Neutron hardware. For the ship-spotters: MURDEN is a US-flag, shallow-draft split-hull hopper dredger (Wilmington District), built in 2012; MMSI 369970571, call sign AELE. Based on its current pace, arrival in the Wallops area could be in the 5–6 hour window—if that’s the destination. This is informed speculation for now, but the puzzle pieces fit. We’ll keep eyes on the track and post photos/video if it ties up near the inlet.
