A two-stage sounding rocket stands on a launch rail at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division’s Launch Complex 36 at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico on Oct. 11. The 53-foot-tall rocket — and two more like it — took flight on Oct. 14, each carrying a payload of scientific instruments to study the annular solar eclipse. ( Army photo by Chris Bohn/Released)
