Rare night launch from Wallops Island..

Launch of the Minotaur 1 rocket from the Virginia coast remains set for 8:28 p.m. EDT Tuesday (0028 GMT Wednesday), but there is a 70 percent chance scattered thunderstorms could violate weather rules.
There is a three-hour launch window for the rocket to blast off Tuesday evening. Otherwise, the flight would be delayed until at least Wednesday. The weather outlook improves later in the week.
Officials gathered Saturday at the Wallops Flight Facility for the launch readiness review. The meeting concluded with a "go" to continue with launch preparations before Tuesday's launch attempt.

If this does go tonight, you'll see it from North Carolina to New York, including Philadelphia and Washington DC.

The Minotaur uses the SRB's from the Minuteman missile of cold war days.
