Launch capsule

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A launch capsule is a device used to propel a submarine-launched missile or drone to the ocean surface.[1] Upon reaching the ocean surface, the launch capsule is jettisoned, and the missile continues its journey, propelled by its booster motor.[2]
