| Description |
English: Launch of the Delta 180 mission carrying the Vector Sum Experiment payload, the first satellite launched for the "Star Wars" program.
"The Delta 180 mission was also known as the Vector Sum Experiment and was launched from Florida in September 1986. This was the first American launch success after a string of failures that began in August 1985 and included the January 1986 Challenger accident. Journalists were only informed of the impending launch the morning that it occurred." - The Space Review |
