We're in our prime!

79 years ago (get it, 79 is prime 😉) NACA established Wallops Flight Facility as a site for aeronautic research. Since its first rocket launch on June 27, 1945, Wallops has grown from a small test range to helping explore our solar system and beyond.

Sounding rocket and balloon missions carry a lot of data from more-sensitive science experiments, so engineers at Wallops are upgrading the brains of their operations. 🧠
The new, smaller system increases data handling from megabytes to gigabytes. 💻 📡

Such a long journey for a tiny satellite! 🛰️

We had THREE times the fun during yesterday’s solar eclipse!
3 sounding rockets launched from Wallops carrying instruments to measure disturbances in the electrified region of Earth’s atmosphere known as the ionosphere when the Moon eclipses the Sun for a short period of time.
