NASA rocket launch at Wallops Flight Facility postponed from today to Saturday Updated 11:09 AM; If you were planning to look up in the sky tonight to catch a glimpse of the NASA rocket that is scheduled to be launched from the Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, you’ll have to wait again at least one more day. After six delays during the past week — most of which were related to unfavorable weather conditions like cloudy skies or upper-level winds — NASA has decided to postpone Friday night’s scheduled launch as they assess the rocket for potential damage. As of now, NASA is hoping to get its Black Brant XII rocket off the launching pad no earlier than 8:10 p.m. on Saturday, May 15.
