The image freezes a pivotal moment during a joint missile defense intercept test conducted in the Pacific Ocean on November 19,2008.

This surface-to-air weapon is unleashed to intercept a medium-range separating target that was launched from Hawaii's Pacific Missile Range Facility at Barking Sands, Kauai.
