An unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile test launches from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California.

This test launch was part of routine and periodic activities designed to demonstrate that the U.S. nuclear deterrent remains safe, secure, reliable, and effective and is not a response to current world events. The ICBM community uses data collected from test launches for continuing force development evaluation.
