NASA, Northrop Set October Launch Date for Ionosphere Exploration Spacecraft - top government contractors - best government contracting eventNorthrop Grumman and NASA jointly aim to launch on Oct. 6 a space vehicle built to explore an atmospheric region where the weather conditions of Earth and space meet.

Ionospheric Connection Explorer will lift off aboard a Pegasus XL rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, according to a NASA blog article published Wednesday.

The ICON mission was targeted to launch June 14 at the Kwajalein Atoll in Marshall Islands.

Northrop has replaced a sensor after the company detected off-nominal data during the rocket’s ferry flight.
