The Terrier-Orion suborbital sounding rocket launched Thursday morning [July 24, 2010] from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. The rocket carried 11 experiments that were developed in part with a week long Rock-On workshop on how to build small experiments for launch aboard suborbital rockets. The rocket was estimated to be traveling more than 2,650 miles per hour less than a minute into the launch [video].
