NASA has put off the launch of a sounding rocket at Wallops Flight Facility from Tuesday to Wednesday.
The facilities officials blamed the delay on the recent storm that swept through the area from Hurricane Joaquin.
The mission is aimed at testing new equipment that would make the missions less risky and cheaper.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that the flight was to test the Black Branch motor with two stages.
In addition, the paper says the mission will be testing a new fabricating method for the payload.
