Nike Zeus Missile Scores Second Interception Victory
The Nike Zeus anti missile system scored its second successful intercept of a target warhead. Two missiles were launched from Kwajalein atoll in the mid Pacific, with one destroyed by a technical defect in its second stage. The target warhead was fired from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, about 5 000 miles away. The Defense Department announced the test amid prior reports of radar difficulties and notes on intermittent failures in earlier tests.
