The Air Force has successfully test launched a missile from the Central Coast.
The Minuteman III missile lifted off from Vandenberg Air Force Base at 11:39 Wednesday night.
It's the latest in a series of routine launches from the base intended to test the readiness of equipment and flight crews. The unarmed intercontinental ballistic missile carried test re-entry vehicles to a target area more than 4,000 miles away in the Western Pacific.
