U.S. Plans II:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Missile Interceptor Booster Test Delayed, Set for SaturdayFrom Friday, August 15, 2003 issue.
The U.S. Missile Defense Agency has delayed until tomorrow a planned test of a booster vehicle developed for use in the U.S. Ground-based Midcourse Defense program, according to Defense Daily (see GSN, Aug. 6).
The test of the booster, developed by Orbital Science Corp., had originally been scheduled for today, but was delayed because of software problems, Defense Daily reported. To reboot the software required recertification from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California and the Western Test Range and resulted in the one-day delay, agency spokesman Rick Lehner said yesterday (Kerry Gildea, Defense Daily, Aug. 15).
