NASA rockets study upper level jet stream

The short video that I embedded here shows the launch of five ATREX rockets, suborbital rockets, to study the upper level jet stream. The rockets were launched 80 seconds apart from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia early in the morning of March 27, 2012.
