Unarmed Minute Man III Test Launch

Shot at 1:22 this morning from Loma Prieta Ridge, overlooking the Monterey Bay.

The Monterey Bay is to the far right of this picture.

The launch was from Vandenberg AFB, some 200 miles away, to the Kwajalein Missile Range in the western chain of the Marshall Islands.

The purpose of the launch is to verify the continued safety, reliability and accuracy of the Minuteman III ICBM.

Had to work at finding the best exposure due to the near full moonlight.
