Do you know if it's technical or weather delayed?

Saw that on the news last evening.    That is pretty cool.   They did a piece on her statue unveiling at WV State.

NASA's ASPIRE mission launches from Wallops at around 9:30 eastern.  Track it here and see if you'll be able to watch it:  https://sites.wff.nasa.gov/wmsc/#/map

sorry, it was 9:30 AM.  I can usually see the larger rockets, but I didn't see this one out from where I am in Gainesville.

Thanks for the update.    I would have been pretty lonely at 9:30 PM.    :)    I don't think I could have seen it this morning either.    There's a lot of "haze" out there at this time of year.    I'd have to view across much of the suburbs (Fairfax, PG, etc.) to see it during the day.
