Vandenberg missile launch successful
A Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile configured with a National Nuclear Security Administration joint-test assembly launches May 22 from North Vandenberg Launch Facility-10 at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. The launch was an operational test to determine the weapon system's reliability and accuracy. The missile's single unarmed re-entry vehicle traveled approximately 5,250 miles before hitting its pre-determined target in a broad ocean area 230 nautical miles southwest of Guam.
