1,029,240. Self-propelled missiles. DORNIER SYSTEM G.m.b.H. April 5, 1965 [April 20, 1964], No. 14283/65. Heading F3A. A missile which may carry measuring instruments into the upper atmosphere is launched by a booster motor developing a high thrust quickly and then jettisoned. The missile carrying the pay-load then rises to the required height where the pay-load is ejected, its fall to earth being braked by known devices. On ejection of the payload, the missile casing is shattered. To facilitate rupture, the casing is made of material with high internal stressing, e.g. safety glass and a small charge may be provided to initiate the shattering or this may be brought about by mechanical stressing, e.g. by a firing-pin. The pin may be actuated by a time switch or by remote control. |
