ABSTRACT:
For use with a launching apparatus for a spin-stabilized self-propelled missile, which includes a rotary missile support defining a spin axis and receiving the missile with a missile axis of rotation, and a spring operative to hold the missile on the missile support, a method and apparatus are provided for aligning the missile axis of rotation with the spin axis. The rotary missile support and missile are supported on a fixture for rotation about the spin axis. The rotary missile support and missile then are rotated relative to the fixture about the spin axis. The amount of eccentricity between the missile axis of rotation and the spin axis is determined. The missile is restrained for single plane motion and is adjustably moved relative to the rotary support to coincidently align the missile axis of rotation with the spin axis. The spring then is tightened to maintain the coincident alignment of the axes.
