Safety philosophies and techniques developed by NASA Wallops Station, Va, for storage, handling, assembly, and flight of rockets; emphasis is on most likely modes of motor ignition or detonation and those energy sources available to produce initiation; sounding-rocket flight safety is related to vehicle reliability, dispersion and wind sensitivity, as well as to mission objectives; method developed for qualifying vehicles for flight without flight termination system is described, along with functions provided to safety personnel by vehicle design review; methods for determining that probability of hitting land, ship, or aircraft will be less than 1×10-5, are presented.
