Burner (rocket stage)

The Burner and Burner 2 rocket stages have been used as upper stages of launch vehicles such as the Thor-Burner and Delta since 1965. The currently available Burner 2 is powered by a Star 37 solid rocket motor.

In addition to use on Delta family rockets, Burner 2 stages have been used on both Atlas and Titan rockets. [cite web |url=http://www.astronautix.com/stages/star37.htm |title=Star 37 |publisher=Encyclopedia Astronautica]
