The launch was a flight test for a two-stage variant of the operationally-configured three-stage interceptor now deployed at Vandenberg AFB. <\/p>\n<p>The test was solely for data collection purposes and system performance evaluation. There was no target launch or intercept attempt for this mission.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Executing a successful launch like this requires a great deal of work from many people in various organizations and Team Vandenberg performed magnificently,&#8221; said Col.
