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: http://sched.wff.nasa.gov/wffsched/
really? I can't see it for some reason. What URL are you finding it at? I get 404'd at http://sites.wff.nasa.gov/code810/files/bluebook.pdf
Hmmmm ..... interesting .....
WFF web calendar was not accessable yesterday but blue book (at URL you list) was as I accessed it ..... today both are gone (web calendar "forbidden" - acess denied and blue book "file not found"!
Wonder what is going on??
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.
I am able to access this
http://sched.wff.nasa.gov/wffsched/, but I am at wallops on a NASA network. I heard from someone that the schedule was no longer going to be available publicly. If I run into anyone from the PAO I'll see if I can get that confirmed.

FYI, when we "outsiders" click that link it says the following:
"The Wallops Daily Range Schedule is no longer available for public use. Thank you for your patience as the Wallops Flight Facility Public Affairs Office works to create a public schedule, available on the Wallops home page."
So it would appear that a public schedule with less detailed info is planned to appear, eventually.

Too bad as there was a lot of info gleaned from it I would have never known about (Mars Balloon drop tests come to mind) ..... I doubt the "public" versiion would have that kind of detail.

I work at Wallops Flight Facility and I was (am) the payload mechanical design/manufacturing/test engineer for 41.087 NT Heyne launched from WSMR yesterday at ~10:30 am local time.
The top half of page 3 of this PDF has a few pictures from I&T at wallops:
http://rscience.gsfc.nasa.gov/keydocs/Rocket_Report_2nd_qt_2010.pdf
Here is a quick JPL news release:
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2010-408
Pretty good high res launch picture is available at that link.
This was my first launch that I had the payload from Mission start to Launch. Still waiting to hear details on how everything went but I do know they recovered it successfully.
Check out http://phaeton.jpl.nasa.gov/external/projects/terrain.cfm for information about the payload.
Feel free to ask me questions. I'll answer whatever I think I can.
Thanks for the info! I gather this was sort of a followon to 41.068?
Do you happen to know the gross payload weight offhand? Thanks.

On December 19 (at 03:36 local time), the third and final launch took place under the Ecoma project from Andoya, to study the effect of the Geminid meteor shower on the properties of meteor smoke particles. For this purpose, one rocket was launched before the shower (Ecoma-7, on December 4), one at the peak (Ecoma-8, on December 13), and one after the peak of the shower activity (Ecoma-9 on December 19).
A Nike-Orion rocket was used for these launches.

The Navy is planning to conduct its first live sea-based Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) test on the East Coast this weekend.
The test is part of exercise Atlantic Trident 2011 scheduled through January 25.
According to the Navy, the exercise will provide realistic training for BMD ships and give them the opportunity to track a live target and simulate intercept of a short-range target missile in the midcourse phase of flight.
A target missile will be launched from the NASA Wallops Island Flight Facility on Virginia's Eastern Shore.
