I'm not totally sure what you're asking but I think the answer is yes, they're done and they're not doing any more flights. It gives a link to the Aussie defense site that gives "results" of the experiment. It is kind of a bore but it should be cool once they get something practical up in the air like that.

AFAIK, UQ Centre for Hypersonics is still active but I don't know about their links with DARPA/DSTO. You can pretty much rule out any launches without those heavyweights, IMHO.

Shame, I guess they have got whatever data they needed. Hopefully we'll see some other project starting up on the results of this.

There is no real space program in Oz, The Unis have some involvement but that is about it.

At least they are still talking about it :dry:

Hehehe... not usually. I notice Nick Xenophon is on the committee though and he has a tendency towards the dramatic (I guess all politicians do, but he stands out). His announcement that he was running for the federal senate:

Thank you for meeting me here in front of the giraffe enclosure in front of the Adelaide Zoo, the reasons for which will shortly become apparent...
Today I am sticking my neck out for South Australia...
