Minuteman III missile launch from Vandenberg delayed by weather. When will it blast off?

An unarmed Minuteman III missile’s departure from Vandenberg Air Force Base will wait at least 24 hours after a weather-related liftoff delay on Wednesday.

Blastoff from an underground silo on the northern segment of the base near Lompoc now is planned between 12:27 and 6:27 a.m. Thursday.

The team initially targeted liftoff for early Wednesday morning, but military officials blamed adverse weather conditions at the target area downrange for the postponement.
