Minotaur V is a small-lift launch vehicle repurposed from the retired LGM-118 Peacekeeper, an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). Minotaur V was developed by Orbital Sciences Corporation and made its maiden, and to date only, flight on September 7, 2013, carrying the LADEE spacecraft for NASA. Although Minotaur V is still offered for launch services, no further flights are scheduled as of 2026.
