A payload fairing is a nose cone used to protect a spacecraft payload against the impact of dynamic pressure and aerodynamic heating during launch through an atmosphere.An additional function on some flights is to maintain the cleanroom environment for precision instruments. [citation needed] Once outside the atmosphere the fairing is jettisoned, exposing the payload to outer space.
