University students will have to wait at least another week before their contributions to a NASA rocket are launched into space.
All scheduled launches and flight experiments where the rocket is located, at the Wallops Flight Facility on Virginia's Eastern Shore, have been postponed in anticipation of rough weather conditions resulting from Hurricane Isabel.
The rocket, which was originally scheduled for lift-off this morning, will remain in storage at Wallops Island until its launch can be rescheduled, possibly within the next month.
The delay is not expected to negatively impact research, which will measure atmospheric and oceanic data.
