Missile Defense Test Delayed By Weather
The Pentagon postponed the fifth test of a prototype missile defense system due to high winds in California for a second straight night. The plan involved a modified ICBM launch from Vandenberg to release a mock warhead headed toward Kwajalein Atoll where an interceptor from Hawaii would pursue and strike the warhead in space. Two of the first four attempts succeeded, two failed, and further results depended on today’s weather.
