That's a long poll for a tiny rocket. Going to hold at T-3 minutes due to a red on the required observation conditions.

Suborbital rocket NASA 46.015GT holding at T-3 minutes at Wallops Island. If launched, will deploy chemical tracers visible in US northeast

It's clouds over one of the two ground stations that will take imagery of the payload as it deploys that's the only red. #frustrating

SCRUB. Red over both ground stations - clouds moved in.

Nighttime Rocket Launch To Create Colorful Clouds in Space

UPDATE: June 12--NASA Postpones Sounding Rocket Launch

The launch of a Terrier-Improved Malemute sounding rocket scheduled for June 12 from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility has been postponed due to clouds impacting the ability to test a new ampoule ejection system designed to support studies of the ionosphere and aurora.

The launch is now scheduled for Tuesday, June 13, with a launch window from 9:04 to 9:19 p.m.

NASA has two ground stations--at Wallops and Duck, N.C.--to view blue-green and red artificial clouds that will be produced as part of the test. Clear skies are required at one of the two ground stations for this test. Clouds obscured the viewing area at both viewing sites for the June 12 launch attempt.

The June 12 attempt was the sixth for this mission. Previous scrubs have been due to a variety of issues, such as high winds, clouds, and boats in the hazard area.

We are counting down to T-3 minutes at Wallops where we will hold. We are red because of cloudy skies. Window is 9:05 - 9:20 p.m.

Holding at T-3 mins. They are hoping for a gap in the clouds.

Looks like there are a few gaps. Let's hope that they move in before the window closes!

SCRUB. Weather was "very close". Trying again tomorrow. Forecast isn't great.
