A Juno PTV, provided by the Space and Missile Systems Center at Los Angeles Air Force Base in El Segundo, California, successfully launched from the U.S. Army's Fort Wingate near Gallup, New Mexico Dec. 10. The target missile soared high into the atmosphere on its way to the White Sands Missile Range to be intercepted by a Patriot Advanced Capability Three (PAC-3).
