METHOD OF SEPARATION OF BALLISTIC MISSILE NOSE CONE Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: rocket engineering, mechanisms of separation of missile members. SUBSTANCE: method of separation of ballistic missile nose cone consists in the fact that mechanical linkages of the nose cone doors are broken, and the doors are turned about the lower hinge joint with the missile body through a preset angle. Then the hinge of the lower joint is opened with kinematic coupling between the doors and missile body being retained, with the aid of which the angular rate of turning of the doors is reduced, and the lower door edges are displaced through a preset distance from the missile body, after which this coupling is broken. EFFECT: facilitated procedure. 3 dwg
