Clustering

A boost technique which uses 2 or more motors side by side in the same rocket. Safe operation of rockets with different motor thrusts, in a cluster would be to ensure symetrical thrust around the center vertical axis of the rocket. This is also sometimes accomplished by canting motors toward the center of gravity. See also Vectored Thrust.
