for example, the risks are over 20 times as great if the vehicle's breakup qa is 20,000
rather than 5,000 deg-lb/ft2.
6.4 Shaping Constants for Titan IV
Mode-5 shaping constants for Titan IV were developed as described in Section 6.3 for
Delta, except that a total of 290,000 simulations were run between the programming
time of 18 seconds and staging at 300 seconds. The percentage of vehicles that break up
during simulated random-attitude turns are plotted against failure time in Figure 26.
The same qa's used with Atlas and Delta were used here, and similar breakup results
were obtained.
