[Launch Alert] Interceptor Launch Scheduled

[Launch Alert]

A Ground-based Interceptor (GBI) missile is scheduled for launch from Vandenberg AFB on the afternoon of May 30 during a 12:00-16:14 PDT launch window. The launch is part of a missile defense test that calls for the GBI to intercept a target launched from the central Pacific.

Off-base public viewing will be available on Corral Road approximately 1 mile north-northwest of the Vandenberg AFB main gate at Highway 1 and California Blvd.

Since this is a test of a critical weapon system, launch status and countdown information will probably only be available on-base and at the public viewing area on Corral Road.
