Rocket Launch May be Visible Tonight

Rare Event in Northeastern US

The planned launch of NASA military satellite Wednesday night in Virginia may be visible in New Jersey, according to NASA.

U.S. Air Force's Minotaur 1 rocket was scheduled to blast off Tuesday night, but bad weather pushed the launch back to Wednesday between 8:28 pm and 11:28 pm.

The launch will be webcast and NASA plans to send out countdown updates via Twitter.
