VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif -- A Minotaur IV rocket is in its last stages of assembly. Minotaur IVs much like this one will be launched from Vandenberg in an effort to place smaller payloads in space at a smaller price. The program spawns from the Inter Continental Ballistic Missile program that came about during the Cold War. The reuse of the rockets estimates a $70 million difference per launch.(Courtesy Photo)
