A nose fairing (10) is a nose fairing coupled to a main body portion (12) of a rocket (11) so as to be separable from the main body portion. The nose fairing includes: a pair of fairing pieces (40, 50) that are separable after a predetermined time has elapsed since the rocket is launched, the pair of fairing pieces being engaged with each other and maintained in a coupled state before the pair of fairing pieces separate; a biasing structure (60) that biases the fairing pieces in a proceeding direction of the rocket to separate the fairing pieces from the main body portion; and a separating mechanism (13) that releases the engagement between the pair of fairing pieces and separates the pair of fairing pieces in such a manner that a distance of separation of one of the pair of fairing pieces from the main body portion is made longer than a distance of separation of the other of the pair of fairing pieces from the main body portion.
