An operational test launch of an Air Force Global Strike Command unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base Thursday, Oct. 29, at 12:27 a.m. Pacific Time.

 

All test launches validate and verify the effectiveness, readiness and accuracy of the weapon system as they are conducted to test the entire intercontinental ballistic missile system, according to Air Force Global Strike Command.

 

Mr. Ron Cortopassi, 30th Space Wing executive director, was the launch decision authority.

 

โ€œThe ICBM test launch program demonstrates our Nationโ€™s nuclear deterrence forces are safe, secure, effective and ready to defend the United States, and Vandenberg plays an integral part in providing the capabilities necessary to meet those test objectives,โ€ said Cortopassi. โ€œEven in times of global pandemic, our Airmen are able to provide the range support required to safely test an ICBM launch.โ€
