Wallops used to publish their sounding rocket manifest at

Unfortunately, when you download the document now all it says is

The Sounding Rocket Mission Schedule (Bluebook) is no longer available online.

NASA Wallops to Support Launch Operations [Jul 8]

A suborbital rocket is scheduled to launch from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia during a window extending from July 9-19, 2025.

No real-time launch status updates will be available. The launch will not be livestreamed.

NGA rocket launching notices for a rocket launch(es) from Wallops on the 18th. Zones are very different than the HASTE launch; this is unrelated. There were several LNMs posted for this launch several days ago that I'll also include. Each LNM contains a different zone, and all are fairly close to shore.

Do we think this is another HASTE attempt?

A new NOTAM names this launch on the 18th as "RACHEL 4"

I would say that it's unlikely. The LNMs for this 18th launch started to get posted on the 7th, a full week before the "JAKE 4" HASTE vehicle stood down from its launch campaign. The hazard zones are also very different, with the launch on the 18th featuring zones that don't extend anywhere near as far as the JAKE 4 HASTE zones, and are shaped very differently.

On the other hand, it is strange that a "RACHEL 4" launch was scheduled only a few days after the "JAKE 4" HASTE launch was scheduled, with how similar the names are. The 2345 - 0500 UTC launch window is also the same, although that may be a preference by the range itself.

[randomname]

Here's a new NASA Wallops range blog acknowledging an upcoming launch:

NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia is supporting sounding rocket launch operations during a window extending from July 17-31, 2025.

No real-time launch status updates will be available. The launch will not be livestreamed.

https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/wallops/2025/07/16/nasa-wallops-to-support-july-launch-operations/

Wording specifies that the operations will be for a sounding rocket. For reference, the blog post for the "JAKE 4" HASTE launch referred to that launch as a suborbital rocket.

"The launch" seems to specify that this blog post is for only one of the two upcoming missions we have NOTAMs for: "RACHEL 4" on the 18th and "MUFFIN" on the 25th. Both fall within the 17th to 31st date range given by the post.

[randomname]

NGA rocket launching notices for a rocket launch(es) from Wallops on the 18th. Zones are very different than the HASTE launch; this is unrelated.

And here's an amateur stream that showed two rockets launching last night, the 18th. According to the stream, one was launched at 8:04 PM local (0004Z) and the other at 8:47 PM local (0047Z).

NGA rocket launching notices for a rocket launch(es) from Wallops on the 18th. Zones are very different than the HASTE launch; this is unrelated. There were several LNMs posted for this launch several days ago that I'll also include. Each LNM contains a different zone, and all are fairly close to shore.

A new NGA notice was sent last night, canceling the above NAVAREA IV 729/25 and replacing it with another notice starting on the 23rd instead. A new NOTAM was also later posted naming this launch on the 23rd as RACHEL 4, so it seems the two rockets launched on the 18th, which also had NOTAMs calling them RACHEL 4, weren't the full batch (maybe another two on the 23rd for a total of 4?)
