A four-stage NASA Black Brant XII suborbital sounding rocket carrying the Cusp-Region Experiment (C-REX) payload was successfully launch at 3:05 a.m. EST, Nov. 24, 2014, from the Andoya Rocket Range in Norway. Preliminary data shows that all 24 sub-payloads ejected as planned as the rocket flew to nearly 302 miles altitude. The science team is analyzing the data, including that gathered from ground cameras and cameras in the NASA B200 aircraft of the vapor cloud releases. The second vehicle in Norway, the Cusp Alfven and Plasma Electrodynamics Rocket (CAPER), remains on the pad ready for launch. The launch window runs through Dec. 3, 2014.
