Towers, often temporary structures, that are constructed for or used to provide support and upright stability on the ground or a launch pad for a rocket, missile, space craft, or other object or vehicle, which is intended to be launched into the air or space; particularly applied to towers constructed for unguided rockets in order to guide the rocket until it reaches speeds fast enough for aerodynamic stabilization to take effect.
