American sounding rocket. Single stage vehicles consisting first of just the Nike booster were initially fired in the course of development of the Nike-Ajax surface-to-air missile. Later it was used occasionally as a sounding rocket, but much more often as the boost stage of a multi-stage sounding rocket.
Status: Retired 1983. First Launch: 1953-10-23. Last Launch: 1977-11-19. Number: 240 . Payload: 70 kg (154 lb). Thrust: 217.00 kN (48,783 lbf). Gross mass: 709 kg (1,563 lb). Height: 6.01 m (19.71 ft). Diameter: 0.42 m (1.37 ft). Span: 1.52 m (4.98 ft). Apogee: 23 km (14 mi).
One notable variant of the Nike in its sounding-rocket form was NASA's Nike Smoke. This consisted of a separable ten degree nose cone filled with titanium tetrachloride solution. This left a smoke trail in the sky, allowing winds aloft to be determined by optical measurement. Hundreds of Nike Smokes and two stage Nike-Nike Smokes were launched in the 1960's and 1970's.
Payload: 70 kg (154 lb) to a 23 km altitude.
