The rocket was part of a series of three launches for the Atmospheric Perturbations around Eclipse Path (APEP) mission to study the disturbances in the electrified region of Earth\u2019s atmosphere known as the ionosphere created when the Moon eclipses the Sun. The rockets launched before, during, and after peak local eclipse time on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>Image Credit: NASA\/Chris Pirner<\/p>\n<p class=\"hds-attachment-single__image_article color-carbon-05 padding-0 p-sm\"><span class=\"line-height-alt-1 color-spacesuit-white\">Read More<\/span><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\"><circle class=\"button-primary-circle\" cx=\"16\" cy=\"16\" r=\"16\"\/><path d=\"M8 16.956h12.604l-3.844 4.106 1.252 1.338L24 16l-5.988-6.4-1.252 1.338 3.844 4.106H8v1.912z\" class=\"color-spacesuit-white\"\/><\/svg><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"hds-social-share hds-share\" id=\"social-share-popover\">\n<p><span class=\"font-size--x-small\" id=\"copy-to-clipboard\">https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/image-detail\/20240408-wallopsapepmission-cpirner-1&#215;1\/<\/span><button class=\"usa-button usa-button--unstyled\" id=\"copy-url\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Copy URL to clipboard&gt;<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<p>\t<span id=\"alert-label\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Download<\/span><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\" viewbox=\"0 0 30 30\" style=\"enable-background:new 0 0 30 30;\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><g><polygon fill=\"#fff\" points=\"27,21 27,25.5 3,25.5 3,21 0,21 0,28.6 2.5,28.6 3,28.6 27,28.6 30,28.6 30,25.5 30,21 \"\/><polygon fill=\"#fff\" points=\"24.6,13.5 22.6,11.6 16.4,17.4 16.4,1.4 13.6,1.4 13.6,17.3 7.5,11.5 5.4,13.5 15,22.5 \"\/><\/g><\/svg><button class=\"usa-button hds-button hds-button-share\" id=\"social-share-button\"><span>Share<\/span><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\" viewbox=\"0 0 30 30\" style=\"enable-background:new 0 0 30 30;\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><g><path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M24.8,0c2.2,0.1,4,1.6,4.4,3.7c0.5,2.5-1.2,4.9-3.8,5.3c-1.4,0.2-2.6-0.2-3.6-1.1c-0.1-0.1-0.1,0-0.2,0 c-1.1,0.6-2.1,1.2-3.2,1.7c-2.1,1.1-4.2,2.2-6.2,3.4c-0.8,0.4-1.6,0.8-2.4,1.3c-0.1,0.1-0.1,0.1-0.1,0.2c0,0.4,0,0.7,0,1.1 c0,0.1,0,0.2,0.1,0.2c1.4,0.7,2.7,1.5,4.1,2.2c1.7,0.9,3.4,1.8,5.1,2.7c0.9,0.5,1.7,0.9,2.5,1.4c0.1,0.1,0.2,0.1,0.3,0 c1-0.8,2.2-1.2,3.4-1c2,0.2,3.6,1.8,3.9,3.7c0.4,2.5-1.2,4.8-3.7,5.2c-2.4,0.4-4.8-1.3-5.2-3.7c-0.1-0.4-0.1-0.9,0-1.3 c0-0.1,0-0.1-0.1-0.2c-1.4-0.7-2.7-1.5-4.1-2.2c-1.5-0.8-3-1.6-4.4-2.4c-1.1-0.6-2.2-1.2-3.3-1.8c-0.1,0-0.1,0-0.2,0 c-0.9,0.8-2,1.1-3.2,1.1c-2.1-0.1-3.8-1.7-4.2-3.7C0.4,13.3,2,11,4.5,10.6c1.4-0.2,2.6,0.1,3.7,1c0.1,0.1,0.1,0.1,0.2,0 c2.4-1.3,4.9-2.6,7.3-3.9c1.5-0.8,3-1.6,4.5-2.4c0.1,0,0.1-0.1,0.1-0.2c-0.3-2.3,1.2-4.5,3.5-5C24.1,0.1,24.5,0,24.8,0z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/image-detail\/20240408-wallopsapepmission-cpirner-1x1\/?rand=771643\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NASA Engineer Cindy Fuentes Rosal waves goodbye to a Black Brant IX sounding rocket launching from NASA\u2019s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia during the total solar eclipse on April 8,&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":780602,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-780966","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nasa-i-o-d"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/780966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=780966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/780966\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/780602"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=780966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=780966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=780966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
