Upcoming Launch Activity At Wallops Flight
Facility
*** Visit the Wallops Operations
Scheduler website or call the WFF Public Affairs Office at (757)
824-1579 for the official schedule of Wallops operations. Mission
updates are available by telephone on the Wallops Information Line at
(757) 824-2050. Backup dates follow the initial launch window.
Rocket launches at WFF can be difficult to view due to the small size
of some sounding rockets. Travel plans should not be based
strictly on launch schedules. Times and dates can change due to
weather and other factors. Rocket launches can be viewed from WFF
Visitor Center grounds during operation hours or from south-facing
areas on Chincoteague and Assateague islands in Virginia.
+ Rocket launches can also be seen on the web: NASA WFF webcast
NEW EXHIBITS
Science On a Sphere
You won't need a spacecraft to have an astronauts-eye-view of the
planets and moons in our solar system at our new Science On a
Sphere Theatre.
Science On a Sphere creates stunning visual effects from real
scientific data, and diplays them on a six-foot-diameter globe
suspended from the ceiling. The animated sphere seems to float in
space - just as an astronaut would see the Earth!
3D video projectors show the audience clear, striking images of
our Earth, storms on Jupiter, our moon Luna and more to help visitors
of all ages better understand our world and our solar system.
NEW Auditorium Renovations:
A new wide screen, remote projector and surround sound system will
enhance your auditorium experience. Choose from any of our four
short movies available upon request. Come check it out!
