Missile-Defense Test Postponed by Fog...
yeah, right ...
IT DOES NOT WORK sounds closer to the reality
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
A key test of the nation's missile defense system was postponed Thursday
because of fog in Alaska, authorities said.
An interceptor missile was supposed to have been launched from this
California base on a near-collision course with a missile lifting off from
Kodiak Island in Alaska.
However, Kodiak was socked in by fog and the launch was put off until Friday
at the earliest, Vandenberg spokesman Jack Hokanson.
The interceptor, launched from an underground silo, will carry a smaller
"kill vehicle" to be released in space. It is designed to lock on to an
approaching enemy missile and fly into the warhead at 18,000 mph.
The test is designed to see how well the kill vehicle's optical sensors work
and will be considered a success even if no collision occurs, officials
said.
