The launch of three Terrier-Oriole suborbital rockets scheduled for launch Feb. 23 for the Department of Defense from NASA’s launch range at the Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia has been postponed. 

The new launch date is Feb. 24 between 12:30 and 4:30 a.m. Back-up launch dates are Feb. 25 through 27.

The rocket launches may be visible to residents in the mid-Atlantic region.

At the request of DoD project managers, no real-time launch status updates will be available. The launces will not be shown live on the Internet nor will launch status updates be provided on social media once the countdown begins.  The NASA Visitor Center at Wallops will not be open for viewing the launches.
