Instead of Lockheed Martin’s Multi-Service Launch System, Orbital’s Target Launch Vehicle was used (both being versions of surplus Minuteman 2 ICBM's). The target set, a mock warhead and a single decoy, did not change. 2002 October 15 02:01 - GMDS (OSP/TLV-4?) target mission Launch Vehicle: Minuteman 2. Minuteman 2 TLV-4 IFT-9 Apogee: 1,600 km (900 mi). ABM target, launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base towards the Reagan Test Site on Kwajalein. The target suite consisted of a mock warhead and a number of decoys. 2002 December 11 08:26 - GMDS (OSP/TLV-5?) target mission Launch Vehicle: Minuteman 2. Minuteman 2 TLV-5 IFT-10 Apogee: 1,600 km (900 mi). ABM target.This was to have been the first night-test of the GMDS, and presumably the decoy suite was more complex than previously used.                   Contact us with any corrections, additions, or comments.
