The rocket will be dispersing canisters around 4 minutes after it launches. These canisters will be releasing blue-green and red vapors that will form artificial clouds. This will allow NASA to track particle motions in space. These vapors may be visible from New York to North Carolina.

According to NASA the flight time will be approximately 8 minutes. The vapors pose no harm to residents in the surrounding areas. It will land in the Atlantic Ocean with no plan of recovery.
