WALLOPS ISLAND, Va- NASA Wallops successfully launched the TOMEX+ sounding rockets at 10:43 PM ET. Conditions were just right with clear skies and calm winds for a successful launch. The mission aims to enhance our understanding of the edge of Earth’s atmosphere and will provide crucial data to help us understand other planets’ atmospheric behavior.

We’ve received so many great photos of the rocket launch. Feel free to share yours with us. Send them to Weather@WMDT.com and we’ll add them to the article!
