Purpose
The Staging Cone serves as an attachment interface between the booster and the sustainer stages of Phoenix. After burn of out the booster motor, drag forces should be larger on the booster and the sustainer should passively separate from its resting position on the Staging Cone. Recovery soft goods are stored in the Staging Cone and are released when the piston separates the Staging Cone from the booster airframe.
