 booster
booster - A Russian booster rocket will launch the first Algerian satellite into orbit.
It costs $6.5 million to refurbish one recovered booster rocket and refuel it for a subsequent flight, NASA said.
The final test of the planned intercept of a long-range ballistic missile target over a Pacific Ocean test range involving the use of the interceptor's surrogate booster rocket could not be completed when the interceptor and the booster failed to separate, the Defense Department announced December 11.
