Rocketry and Space Folks
by @yrocket.bsky.social

The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center has confirmed mission success! They also confirmed it was indeed a Minotaur I rocket with a MK21A Reentry Vehicle from Lockheed Martin. This was the second such test, after a previous launch in 2024. Sadly they did not provide any pictures.
Sometimes you try to be productive but get distracted by planes captured in mid-flight by spy satellites
