Mission success depends upon both protection and separation aspects of payload fairing; there are two basic approaches for jettisoning fairing -- "over-the-nose" (OTN) approach features one-piece cover propelled forward until it is free of spacecraft; other method is to split fairing longitudinally like clamshell, and at separation to push halves apart and away from vehicle with springs, gas thrusters or pyrotechnic devices; Mariner shroud failure, solutions considered, and redesign of shroud's cylindrical section; advantages of fiberglass and design of future shrouds.
