NASA was to launch a rocket of the installation of Wallops Island in Virginie yesterday, Saturday, May 15th. However, NASA has been forced to rub this launch due to cloudy heavens on Bermuda. The cancellation of the launch on Saturday marked about a straight week that NASA was forced to cancel the launch because of the weather and a question of launch support.

The NASA rocket wants to be launched is called Kinet-X and NASA stated that the next launch opportunity was not going soon than 20:04 Sunday 18:04. NASA also noted that Sunday would be the last launch opportunity of the mission. Kinet-X is a different type of mission from NASA generally performs because the rocket will launch high vapor tracers in the atmosphere designed to study winds.

NASA says that scientists use vessel tracers primarily to study atmospheric winds in the high atmosphere and ionosphere. When these traces are released after launch, they make it possible to observe these winds directly. NASA says that steam is safely released at an altitude of 217 to 249 miles above the surface of the planet.

Another interesting drawn on the mission is that the vapor traces used in the rocket are the same type that makes the fireworks colored. The agency notes that all materials used in vapor tracers are harmless for humans. Without a doubt, there will be a lot of people on the floor, waiting for this particular mission because of colorful vapor traces.

NASA says Bermuda’s inhabitants will have the best view to see colorful tracers, but central Florida will also have the opportunity to see the tracers based on the weather. If the rocket can start, the spectators must be low on the horizon, easterly between 90 seconds and two minutes after its launch. The tracers could be seen from Maine to the central Florida and as far inside the land as the Mississippi River.
