They carried Sunday's launch attempt live on Wallop's Facebook page. You can view Sunday's countdown and commentary at https://www.facebook.com/NASAWFF/videos/1685599314803496/
But what I don't know is if they launched Monday.

Hi - I’m curious - is there an on-line way to monitor these launch statuses? Like posted on the Wallops and/or NASA sites as soon as the decision is made? Or are there only insider sources who are kind enough to tell a poor soul standing in the mosquito swarm, waiting well past bedtime to see ‘nothing’ and
then
go inside to find a non-official announcement? Or am I just missing the correct URL to see the status? Sunday there was nothing - not even a view of the launcher. Monday, I could at least see the rocket still sitting on
its
rails - after I waited out the time window and went back inside. I forget how many years they’ve been sending these things up - but it seems like 20-25 years and I have yet to actually catch one. I appreciate the volunteers
who
devote their resources to inform the public - but not at all impressed with the professionals outreach. (Or again,
I
might be looking in all the wrong places …)

Launch has just been scrubbed at the final minutes of countdown due to a boat in the recovery area.

A sounding rocket carrying ten barium canisters is scheduled to launch from Wallops Island sometime between 9:04 -9:19 p.m. tonight (Sunday June
11).
Canisters will deploy between 4 and 5.5 minutes after launch releasing blue-green and red vapor to form artificial clouds in the ionosphere.
It
should be visible throughout our area if skies remain clear. Live coverage of the mission is scheduled to begin at 8:30 p.m. on the Wallops Ustream site.
