The Failed Pacifist

Secret Satellite Launched

The first successful launch of a Delta 4 rocket from the West Coast of the U.S. took place tonight at about 8:30pmPDT. The payload was a clandestine spacecraft for the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office and, as such, its actual mission is unknown to the public. But it is said to be a Micro-Satellite Technology Experiment, or MiTEx, probably similar to one launched last week in Florida.
