Terrier Orion

This spin stabilized configuration is most often used by the Goddard Space Flight Center, who operate out of the Wallops Flight Facility for sounding rocket operations.

[1] The system supports payloads ranging from 200 to 800 pounds (90 to 360 kg), and is capable of achieving altitudes as high as 120 miles (200 km), but at least 50 miles (80 km), depending on payload size.

The system typically uses spin motors and has a total weight of approximately 2,900 pounds (1,300 kg), excluding payload.

The fins are normally configured so that the rocket will have a stabilizing spin rate of approximately four cycles per second.
