SCIFER scrubbed again, but they are hopeful of a launch tomorrow, same window.
http://mirl.sr.unh.edu/scifer2_launch.html
As for the two launches from WSMR, nothing yet. Usually there isn't much to go on with these until after they launch. I'm keeping an eye on the C810 homepage, and WFF ops schedule for any movement, but nothing yet, so we can assume the are still on the ground. I'm looking for more information. I do have daily launch windows, which are 01:00-08:00 GMT. The serial numbers for the rockets being used are 36.223 and 36.243. One (223) appears to be an astrophysics mission for the University of Wisconsin, the other (243) is for John Hopkin University. Not sure about content.
NASA has just released a sounding rockets programme newsletter, which is available from
http://sites.wff.nasa.gov/code810/files/Rocket_Report_4th_quarter_07.pdf
, which lists two further launches this month. These are both Terrier-Orions, believed to be NASA test flights, and are to launch from Wallops. They, however, are
not
listed on the Wallops launch schedule for this month, I am looking into it. Serial numbers are 12.065 and 12.066.
http://sites.wff.nasa.gov/code810/files/BlueBook.pdf
is quite interesting.

Scrubbed again. Now scheduled for 10 January. Same window.
Interestingly, they extended the window during this morning's attempt, I don't know if we can expect to see this again.

The following is a quote from the Jonathan's Space Report n. 590 issued on January 16th, and is about the launch of a a Black Brant IX Mod 2 sounding rocket from White Sands on January 11th. The Jonathan's Space Report is available
here
and the Jonathan's Space Pages are available
here
From JSR n. 590:
NASA 36.243UG
-------------
Stephan McCandliss reports that his far UV telescope and LIDOS UV
spectrograph have flown again, on sounding rocket NASA 36.243UG launched
at 0523:00 UTC on 2008 Jan 11. This was the first flight of a Black
Brant IX Mod 2 from White Sands. The Mod 2 uses a Mk 70 Terrier booster
and the new Black Brant Mk1 sustainer. The igniter for the Mk1 was recently
redesigned following the failure of NASA 40.17UE in 2006 Mar. This third
flight of LIDOS was targeted on the Orion Nebula, and the orbit was
around -6370 x 315 km.

Apparently there will be a Japanese sounding rocket launch on January 28th. The vehicle is the S-310-38 and I think the launch will take place from the Uchinoura Space Center at Kagoshima. I will try to get more information about this.

SCIFER still hasn't launched, and they are running out of attempts.
http://scifer2.blogspot.com/
As for the BB-IX, NASA have finally published information on the launch.
http://sites.wff.nasa.gov/code810/news/story80.html
Still no news on the other BB-IX.

That's one damn cool location for a launch site. The mountains are lighted by the rocket's glare.
