It is recomended that when preliminary design of the system is begun, booster-vehicle combinations be put into aerodynamic test as soon as possible as it is believed this is the only way of eyaluating them in a sutfioiently quantitAtive manner. 2.3.7 Mdssi.le Trajectories Some approximate esti iates of the zero lift tfta-ectories of the MX-2276 miusile havo been ýide, assuming constant drag coefficientop to determine the line of s'.ght' angle from the carrier to the missile during the fall and the ti:ie and range increments between the time at which the oarritr passe; over the target and impact to the i4nsaile, These estimates were made to illustrate the meohanics of the mijsile drop and serve as preliminary design information for the missile tracking and guidance system.
