If the Center of Pressure (CP) moves in front of the Center of Gravity (CG) on a rocket, the rocket will become unstable. The stability of a rocket is determined by the relationship between these two points. Ideally, for a rocket to be stable, the CP needs to be below the CG. If this is not the case, the rocket can start to tumble or spin.
