System for launching a missile from a launch region within the atmosphere
of a planet, the missile being located within a flying vehicle before
launching the missile, the system including a missile support coupled
with the missile, and a foldable control-surface mechanism coupled with
the missile support, the foldable control-surface mechanism being in a
folded position before ejecting the missile support and the missile from
the flying vehicle, the foldable control-surface mechanism moving from a
folded position to an operational position after ejecting the missile
support and the missile from the flying vehicle, wherein the foldable
control-surface mechanism maneuvers the missile and the missile support
to a predetermined orientation suitable for launching the missile,
wherein the missile support is decoupled from the missile when the
missile and the missile support are at the predetermined orientation, and
wherein the missile is launched after reaching the predetermined
orientation.
