'''Meck Island''' ({{langx|mh|Meik}}, {{IPAc-mh|m&yik}}<ref>[http://www.trussel2.com/MOD/LocK.htm#Kuwajleen Marshallese-English Dictionary - Place Name Index]</ref>) is part of the Kwajalein Atoll in the Ralik Chain in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, {{convert|2100|nmi|km}} southwest of Honolulu, Hawaii.
==Island== Meck is part of the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site, and a launch site for anti-ballistic missiles and launch vehicles is based there. It was originally developed in support of the Sentinel program of the 1960s, and hosted a radar site and launchers for Sprint and Spartan missiles. It has been used for a variety of tests since then, including the Safeguard program, Homing Overlay Experiment, Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle, THAAD and others.
