EVEX launch-May 7-Marshall Islands von NASA's Wallops Flight Facility
The Equatorial Vortex Experiment (EVEX) was successfully conducted during early morning hours May 7 from Roi Namur, Republic of the Marshall Islands. A NASA Terrier-Oriole sounding rocket was launched at 3:39 a.m. EDT followed by the launch of a Terrier-Improved Malemute sounding rocket 90 seconds later. Preliminary indications are that both rockets released their vapor clouds of lithium or trimethyl aluminum, which were observed from various locations in the area, and all science instruments on the rockets worked as planned. More information on EVEX can be found at http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/sounding-rockets/news/evex.html These were the second and third rockets of four planned for launch during this year's campaign in the Marshall Islands. The first and fourth rockets are supporting the Metal Oxide Space Cloud experiment (MOSC), which is studying radio frequency propagation. Photos by John Grant/NASA.

"Vapor clouds of lithium"??? Never knew they used lithium in anything "spacy" except "way out" humans... Love those colors!

Red is lithium, white and blue are TMA. Red, white, and blue! We should've launched on July 4th!

Congrats to all! Miguel is very appreciative of all who stepped up when he was unable to make the trip.

That's funny, all the NASA guys I talked to seem to think they used lithium...
