The Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport on Wallops Island is counting down the days to its first rocket launch.
An Air Force satellite, one of several small tactical satellites under development by the military, is scheduled for a Dec. 11 launch. It will be the first from the spaceport's 113-foot-tall rocket launcher -- known as launch pad O-B -- since it was built in 1998.

I don't get it...Wallops has been sending rockets aloft for decades.
What's new beside this "spaceport" moniker? Yeah a new launcher unit.
Gee whiz.

Its not military anymore right? I mean I don't remember NASA doing any launches from there on a regular basis.
Oh.
