Terrier Orion

The Terrier Orion sounding rocket is a combination of the Terrier booster rocket with the Orion rocket used as a second stage. This spin stabilized configuration is most often used by the Goddard Space Flight Center, who operate out of the Wallops Flight Facility for sounding rocket operations. The system supports payloads ranging from 200 to 800 pounds, and is capable of achieving altitudes as high as 120 miles (200 km), but at least 50 miles (80 km), depending on payload size.

Technical details
The Terrier Orion system is designed to be rail launched, and can be supported at most fixed and mobile launch sites. == Improved Orion ==
Improved Orion
The Improved Orion motor uses a "bi-phase propellant" system which provides it with around of thrust during the first four seconds of motor burn. The thrust then tails off to approximately of thrust until burnout occurs at around 25 seconds. The fins are normally configured so that the rocket will have a stabilizing spin rate of approximately four cycles per second. == See also ==
