Rocket Launch Test from NASA Wallops Island

This video shows 2 views of a test launch of an experimental 2-stage test rocket from NASA's sounding rocket facility at Wallops Island, Virginia on June 28, 2005. The rocket was called ATED, for "ASAS Technology Evaluation Demonstration". It was a test by ATK in Elkton, MD to demonstrate the capability to construct a low-cost multi-stage sub-orbital vehicle and test its flight computer and avionics package.

Thanks. Good to see Virginia getting into launches again.

Satellite. Shuttles only launch from Kennedy. The Wallops Island range primarily launches sounding rockets, sub-orbital test payloads, and the occasional satellite. Google "Wallops Island" and go to the NASA page about the place.

Thanks for the video. I used to make boosters for the Navy and provided them to NASA. Good to see this.
