Lockheed solid rocket motor. Upper stage for several sounding rockets and test vehicles of 1963-1988.
Lockheed produced the Hydac-Javelin 2-Javelin 3-Sirocco family of sounding rocket, test vehicle, and sled solid rocket motors from the 1960's. The Hydac and Javelin 3 motors were used as single-stage motors and in various second, third, and fourth-stage configurations with the Terrier, Honest John and Nike systems. The Sirocco unit was used primarily as a single-stage vehicle, while the Javelin 2 was a successful sled and sounding rocket.
The HYDAC rocket motor itself was 9 inches in diameter, 147 inches in length, and contained 410 pounds of PBAA propellant. The propellant composition was 16 percent aluminum with an average particle size of 6 microns, 60 percent coarse ammonium perchlorate with an average particle size of 200 microns, and 8 percent fine ammonium perchlorate with an average particle size of 8 microns. The forward portion was a single perforation cylinder; the aft portion was a six-point star. The HYDAC had a conventional deLaval nozzle.

Nation: USA.
Decay Date: 1957-12-01 .
Under the code name Have Horn, a sounding rocket launcher and associated equipment was installed at North Truro Air Force Station on Cape Cod. A series of Nike-Hydac sounding rockets were fired to test MIT sensors. Launches continued until early 1970, after which all equipment was air-lifted back to Holloman AFB. Wayne O. Mattson was launch control officer for this exercise.
