Various news reports note that India on Sunday test-fired a long-range, nuclear-capable missile, but it also went into the drink shortly after takeoff, like North Korea’s Taepo Dong II. This launch has brought little international alarm, however, the timing probably could have been better. (Reportedly India notified Pakistan before the test.)
Officials at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Fla., said the range is “fully mission capable” to support launches following a major May 28 mishap involving Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket.
