The Hi-C sounding rocket made its second flight from White Sands today. Launch was around 1826 UTC.
Not clear yet how the flight went.
Payload successfully recovered. Good calibration data for new camera obtained, but appears shutter may not have opened -
no science data obtained. :-( Better luck next time... -

There were two Rodong launches on 3 August, one of which exploded at launch. The 19 July salvo had one Scud-type vehicle (possibly a Hwasong-6) and two Rodongs.

Apparently there was a Trident II launch from ETR on Aug 31
http://www.scout.com/military/warrior/story/1707164-us-tests-upgrades-nuclear-armed-trident-ii-d5
This was the 161st success in a row;
EDIT[last known launch in March was 158th, so we are missing a pair
launched sometime mid-year.] Sorry, 159th and 160th were launched on Mar 16 too - I missed that.
So all of this year's are accounted for -

Hi
the scout.com reference supplies the Aug 31 launch date of the 161st sequential successful Trident.
I have the 158th-160th launches on March 14, 15 and 16 respectively - all in FCET 52.
But my references for this are:
https://navaltoday.com/2016/03/17/ohio-class-submarine-launches-trident-ii-d5-missiles/
and
http://www.lockheedmartin.com/us/news/press-releases/2016/march/ssc-space-trident.html
My reading of the LM press release suggests one on each of 3 days - do you have a ref that explicitly says all 3 on the 16th?
thanks
Carl

Four missile tests (three confirmed) from Russia in recent weeks. A suspected Yars failure from Plesetsk on August 25. A successful Topol test from Plesetsk on September 9. Two Bulava missiles salvo launched from a submarine in the White Sea on September 27. One of the Bulava missiles "autodestructed" after launching from the missile tube. It isn't clear if the destruction was planned or not.

UR-100NUTTH missile test from Dombarovskiy on October 25, 2016, with an 08:58 UTC launch, likely from a silo at 51.030808, 59.690054. This test went to Kura Range and may have used a Project 4202 hypersonic test RV like the last launch in April.

some have speculated it uses recycled Patriot motors?
