Power outage delays Missile testing

Due to a power outage in Southern California, a Minuteman III dummy warhead test originally slated for Wednesday was conducted today. The test was successful, with the missile traveling 4,200 miles from Vandenberg Air Force Base to the water target in the Marshall Islands. The two interceptors at Vandenberg and the nine missiles housed underground at Fort Greely are part of the U.S. Missile Defense System, which is tested periodically for reliability and accuracy.
