NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia is scheduled to launch a sounding rocket carrying student-developed experiments. These experiments are part of the agency's RockSatX and RockOn programs, designed to provide technical training and hands-on experience to university students.

The launch is set for Wednesday, June 24, between 5:30 and 9:30 a.m. EDT, with Thursday, June 25, as a backup day. These programs are crucial for preparing the next generation of space engineers and scientists, offering them the opportunity to design, build, and test their own instruments in a real flight environment.
