The illustrative embodiment of the present invention is a launch system that includes a missile canister cover that, in use, is attached to a missile canister. The cover is capable of being blown off of the canister before there is any contact between the nose of the missile and the cover and is further capable of withstanding a higher ambient pressure than internal canister pressure. These capabilities are achieved based on an attention to material mechanics and the prevailing geometry of the system.
