Figure 24 shows the percentages of malfunction-turn impacts in 5 sectors for no
breakup and for breakup qa's of 20,000, 10,000, and 5,000 deg-lb/ft. For B = 1,000,.
theoretical Mode-5 impacts are also plotted using best-fit values of A. This value of B
was chosen since it is currently used by-RTI in making launch-area risk studies for the
45th Space Wing. In the sectors from 80 to 180, where most of the population
centers are located, fairly good data fits were possible for all breakup qa's except 5,000
deg-lb/ft. No value of A could be found to produce a good fit with B = 1,000. The
bottom plot in Figure 25 shows that an excellent fit between malfunction-turn and
theoretical data is possible for qa = 5,000 deg-lb/ft if a different choice of B is made.
