A Minotaur rocket on the launch pad at Wallops Island, Va. Launch of a similar rocket was postponed last week when it rained every night in its 5-day launch window.


The launch of the Minotaur rocket from Wallops Island, Va., next week should be visible from southern New England, if they can find a night with good weather.

NASA Wallops on Twitter says,

The new launch date for the TacSat-3 mission is May 19 and 20. The window each night is 7:35 to 11:30 p.m.

They've scrubbed posts from earlier attempts canceled by rain last week, and are starting fresh.
