ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for separating two parts of a body in flight, one of which has controllable fins, for example a finned booster and payload section, in which various commands are generated in the forward booster region and stored in the aft booster region, the commands determining a sequence of positions for the booster fins to assume after separation, thus imparting a spinning, tumbling motion to the booster and increasing drag thereon.
