The rocket will send information for various student projects and the projects will measure data as the rocket climbs to the edge of space.A few hours south of the Delaware Valley, NASAs sends up rockets with scientific experiments from Wallops Island, Virginia. Wallops Island is about an hour south of Ocean City, Maryland and next to Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, an area famous for its wild ponies.
A rocket was scheduled to launch around sunrise Thursday morning, but weather delayed the launch until Friday.

Two local universities will be sending up experiments: Temple University and the University of Delaware. Students from Temple want to understand how less gravity affects the interaction of sound and light. University of Delaware students will study some weather data and use that to examine how thick the air is higher up. NASA explains those projects
