The weather is slowly starting to trend in the right direction for launch later this week/early next week at LC-1. Stay tuned for target date for the first of two NASA TROPICS launches soon! #RocketLikeAHurricane https://t.co/jQq3v3LqT4
How will NASA's TROPICS constellation monitor tropical storms and improve forecasts to potentially save lives? We're glad you asked. https://t.co/w7VGbE8IRy
Latest weather forecasts are looking better, so we’re preparing for a launch attempt in the coming days for the first NASA TROPICS launch!
