Missile Defense Agency CTV-01 launch

CTV-01





On the afternoon of 26 January 2013, the Missile Defense Agency tested a new Ground Based Interceptor missile. The GBI is designed to intercept missiles launched at the United States by hostile nations.

I viewed the launch from Harris Grade Rd. in an effort to avoid the low clouds and fog that plagued the base during a launch once again. I was a little further away than I would have liked, but it worked out OK. As always, click on the thumbnail and enjoy the photos.

I also updated my Lunar Photography album with THIS cool shot of the moon rising on the evening of 26 January 2013.
