It is indeed quite suspicious that several numbers are missing from the launch list. For example, the launch of Tempest-4 would imply the launch of Tempest-3, however, Starchaser never wrote about any launch with this number. I suppose that Tempest-3 for example was the failed launch that took place

Several rockets are listed as 'meeting objectives' and therefore classified as 'successful' when the recovery parachutes failed to deploy correctly (or indeed at all) causing ballistic impact of the rocket components. Unfortunately the only press reports for these launches were press-releases by

I suspect that the height given in Source 4 is just the height of a proposed, never built rocket that unfortunately shares the same name with the one that was actually launched. The rocket given in the report is a two-stage liquid fed rocket with four strap-on boosters, while the one that was

Even most of the launches that were deemed 'sucessful' by Starchaser did never reach the altitudes that they were supposed to achieve.

Nevertheless, sadly news sources can not agree on the height of the rocket that was actually launched.
