NASA launched its newest mission ICON on Thursday evening at 10 pm. The mission has been launched to explore where Earth's weather meets space weather. ICON was air-launched on Northrop Grumman's L-1011 Stargrazer aircraft on the Pegasus XL rocket. The launch was initially scheduled at 9:33 pm but it was aborted due to communication loss with the rocket. The aircraft looped around and the second launch attempt was successful
