Small rocket designed to team with Apollo launch escape motor [Progress in Techimology]

Details have been revealed of a small but potent solid propellant rocket (pitch control motor), which will share the responsibility for safeguarding the lives of America´s lunar astronauts. The rocket is called a pitch control motor; it will team with its much larger and stronger fellow lifeguard, the launch escape motor, to hurl the Apollo spacecraft and its three occupants to safety in event of a malfunction during launch phases of NASA´s lunar exploration mission.
