The patent relates to a apparatus to reduce the degree of contamination in front of a solid propellant rocket motor following actuation of thrust termination devices. By erecting a debris catcher over the ports through which the thrust termination contamimates pass, a few large particles are permitted to flow outwardly from the catcher into the atmosphere immediately after thrust termination, while smaller particles such as might cause interference with radar observation of the rocket motor are trapped into close confinement with the casing of the spent rocket motor.
