WALLOPS ISLAND, Va. (AP) - NASA is rescheduling a rocket launch at the Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia due to weather concerns.
    
The launch of the Terrier-Lynx suborbital rocket has been rescheduled for Monday between 1:30 a.m. and 2:15 a.m. It was originally set for early Friday morning.
    
According to NASA, the rocket may be visible to residents in the mid-Atlantic region.
