Wallops Island Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Sunrise over the Orbital ATK Antares rocket at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility
Wallops Island Virginia, USA. This island is just a few miles from Chincoteaque island which is well known for the wild ponies that live on and around the beach. Rockets are now launched from Wallops island that provide provisions for ISS (International Space Station) . It is very accessible to the public for viewing launches. On Tuesday, the 28th of October we traveled to the see this Antares rocket launch but it immediately exploded and I got the shot. Not what we wanted to see but at least there was no one hurt. This is a really great place to visit if you want to view rocket launches and also visit Chincoteaque and Assateague wild ponies.
