SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 14, 2012 - The U.S. Navy conducted a successful test flight Feb. 22 of a Trident II D5 Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) built by Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT). The Navy launched the unarmed missile from the submerged submarine USS Tennessee (SSBN 734) in the Atlantic Ocean.
So the YouTube video, linked in a previous message, was legit! It takes the U.S. Navy nearly a month to confirm?

The Rexus-12 sounding rocket (an improved Orion rocket) was launched from the Esrange center on March 19. The Rexus-11 launch (planned for March 21) was postponed due to technical reasons.

I checked the background of the problems delaying the Rexus-11 launch. Apparently, the parachutes did not work on Rexus-12, and it made a hard landing. The payload was recovered (it landed in the snow), and the experiments were delivered to the respective teams (four or five; sources differ).

A ' tactical ballistic missile' was launched at White Sands, probably on March 29 (date of press release) and was intercepted by two Patriots. It's possible this was a Hera or Storm class vehicle and might have flown an exoatmospheric trajectory from Wingate to White Sands, but there's not enough information given to establish this.

A couple of weeks late, but recently came across this time-lapse photo of the ATREX launches that I don't recall seeing posted on this site before.
