Each rocket released a chemical tracer that created milky, white clouds at the edge of space. (NASA/Wallops)

Tracking the way the clouds move can help scientists understand the movement of the winds 100 kilometers up in the sky. (NASA/Wallops)

Scientists hope the ATREX prorgram will help create better models of the electromagnetic regions of space that can damage man-made satellites and disrupt communications systems. (NASA/Wallop)

The launches and clouds were reported to be seen from as far south as Wilmington, North Carolina; west to Charlestown, West Virginia; and north to Buffalo, New York. (NASA/Wallops)
