When it isâ€"to be sent aloft, it rests in a diagonal launching cradle, somewhat similar to those used for ordinary skyâ€"rockets. When the fuse is ignited, the propellâ€" ing charge sends the rocket soaring out of its cradle. Thereafter, at reguâ€" lar intervals, it is given fresh impetus by the bursting of additional charges.
