Excerpt
Excerpt: This paper summarizes worked conducted by OCST to analyze the effects and public risk sensitivities to destruct or flight termination actions taken on ballistic reentry vehicles (See Source Materials). Flight termination systems have been used to effectively limit vehicle deviations during powered flight regimes but are not commonly employed for risk control with un-powered reentering vehicles. This memorandum provides an overview of the capabilities, limitations and effectiveness of using destruct systems to control or minimize public risks from such reentry vehicles. Using certain example assumptions, Section 1 of this paper provides a parametric risk analysis of the effect of various parameters on casualty expectancy
