This was the first Minuteman III test conducted from an airborne control center on a Navy E-6B Mercury aircraft since August.
Over four months after a B-2 was damaged while landing, the fleet is still generally grounded, but was seen in Hawaii last week.
The Minuteman III's reentry vehicle traveled about 4,200 miles over the Pacific Ocean to the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands.
