An infra-red horizon scanning mechanism is utilized in a multiple stage spin stabilized rocket that trails during initial flight. A horizon scanner is mounted at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and sweeps out a cone which senses the earth's horizon while the vehicle is at a slightly positive attitude and activates a rocket stage.
