Wallops Flight Facility is the only facility in the United States that designs, manufactures/fabricates, integrates, tests and launches sounding rockets. Click on What We Do to see how it's done!
The Wallops Stable currently includes 10 sounding rockets, each with different sizes, strengths and capabilities. To see an action shot of each rocket and read about its capabilities, click on The Stable.
Many launch sites are located in extremely remote locations with little to offer beyond the launch itself. Wallops is located on Virginia's Eastern Shore – one of the most scenic beach resort and wildlife refuge areas in the United States. Click on The Area – Enjoy! for information on nearby Chincoteague Island, Assateague Beach, the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, and links to local traditions and activities.
