Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A Minuteman I missile test launch at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, August 1973. The Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) could reach targets a continent away. The missiles traveled out of the atmosphere and returned to earth at tremendous velocities, upwards of 15,000 miles per hour. "Ballistic" missiles are so named because, after a short period of powered flight, they assume a ballistic path, acted on only by gravity and, during reentry, by the friction of the atmosphere.
