Early today, the U.S. Air Force successfully test-fired an unarmed Minuteman 3 ICBM from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California (see GSN, Sept. 20, 2002). 

The long-range missile flew for about 30 minutes before hitting a target at the Kwajalein Missile Range in the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean, staff Sgt. Rebecca Bonilla said (Associated Press/San Jose Mercury News, June 11).
