A Minotaur 1 rocket successfully launched three payloads for the National Reconnaissance Office Tuesday. The Minotaur 1 blasted off at 9:35 am EDT (1335 GMT) from Wallops Island, Virginia, after weather delayed the launch by more than two and a half hours. The U.S. Space Force's Space and Missile Systems Center confirmed later Tuesday that the payloads were deployed successfully. NROL-111 was a classified mission in low Earth orbit and the NRO did not disclose any details of the payloads.
