The Air Force is planning an intercontinental ballistic missile test for this week from the Central Coast. The launch window from Vandenberg Space Force Base is from 11:01 p.m. Tuesday night to 5:01 a.m. Wednesday.
It’s the latest in a series of ongoing tests to check the readiness of launch crews, and equipment
The launches typically deliver a dummy payload to a test range more than 4000 miles away in the South Pacific.
The U.S. routinely issues a global notification of test plans to let other countries know that it is a test, and nothing more.
