Heating issues related to payload of rocket.
They are back to 'T-30 minutes and holding'.
T-30 minutes and holding. Cooling down the LCT2 experiment system and evaluating winds for launcher settings. Also need to send the surveillance plan back into the area to check for boats.

DLR launches 'STERN' rocket programme for students5 October 2010
On Tuesday, 5 October 2010, the German Aerospace Centre (Deutsche Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) launched a support programme for students to develop, build and launch their own rockets. The programme goes by the acronym STERN from the German Studentische Experimental-Raketen, or Student Experimental Rockets. The programme is aimed at all universities that offer courses in aerospace technology.
The rockets should have a small telemetry payload to transmit key trajectory data back to Earth during flight and provide information to the students including the rocket's altitude and speed. The rockets may be propelled by a solid-fuel, hybrid or steam motor.
The rockets will be launched from the Esrange Space Center at Kiruna, in Sweden. There, the European altitude record of 12.55 kilometres for an amateur rocket was set. To break this record and fly even higher could be a long-term objective of the DLR programme during its planned three-year duration.
Eligible universities are invited to submit their application now; the project starts in January 2011.

From Roscosmos
Today, October 7, 2010, on board the nuclear submarine Dmitry Donskoy carried out the thirteenth test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile, sea-based Bulava.
It is planned that the missile R-30 - Bulava development of the Moscow Institute of Thermal become weapons of strategic nuclear submarines of Project 955 "Borey". The missile is a three. The design of the launch complex allows the launch of the Bulava on the move under water. Flight range of about eight thousand miles. The missile can carry from six to ten independently targetable nuclear units with capacity of up to 150 kilotons each.

I just went to look at the Wallops schedule on the web and received "access denied" error - has the web schedule for WFF moved to a new location or is it now resticted?

Interesting. I looked at it yesterday and it was still there, but I noticed that all future MARTI Black Brant IX launches had disappeared from it and from the Blue Book pdf, which also seems to have disappeared entirely today.
Losing the Blue Book would be bad.

The "blue book" is there as I accessed it too. I was refering to the monthly schedule of WFF web calendar that is at:

Any ideas on where and when this test took place? Usually the tests are announced well after the test actually took place.

Very interesting that it shows part of the first stage reentry. Very hot looking, that, with what appears to be a sudden flare up.

It's just possible it's simply incompetence; they have been unable to post any more Wallops Newsletters for almost 2 years due to a 'technical problem'... sigh.
