Quote from: Steven Pietrobon on 10/17/2018 07:02 amWoomera airspace has been closed since 1 October and will remain so until 10 November. Can anyone help find out if there are any public sources of any launches that have have or will take place? Amber Zone 2 (corridor) airspace is closed, which indicates a sounding rocket launch could be planned.Hi Steven,Whatever they're planning it's got to be military, right? From how I understand it the Abbott Government closed Woomera to any sounding rocket launches. To fly from Woomera these days you've got to be military. NASA's SRPO can't even get access to launch there anymore iirc.

I've heard rumours from multiple sources that a launch did indeed take place in October with a hypersonics payload.

I can't decide if this was an R-36MU or a UR-100UTTKh.
