In 1956, studies at PARD indicated that the Deacon's performance could be substantially improved by substituting new propellants while still retaining the Deacon's convenient configuration and size. NACA contracted with Thiokol Chemical Corp., Elkton, Md., for the development and construction of this new motor. The name Cajun was applied to the motor by Joseph G. Thibodaux, head of the PARD rocket section and from New Orleans. The first Cajun firing occurred at Wallops Island on June 20, 1956. In size, the Deacon and Cajun were no competitors to even the smallish Wac Corporal. The Cajun was just under 264 cm (104 in.) long and weighed 75.3 kg (166 lb) before firing. The Deacon's dimensions were similar.

Model: Nike Cajun. Family: Nike. Department of Defence Designation: PWN-3.

Two stage vehicle sounding rocket consisting of a Nike booster together with a Cajun upper stage. Aside from the Soviet MMR-06, the Nike-Cajun was the most often launched sounding rocket. The Cajun motor was developed for NASA in the 1950's by Thiokol, providing a more modern but still affordable replacement for the World War II-era Deacon.

When the Deacon and Cajun rockets were combined with the solid-propellant booster of the Nike I guided missile, two very capable sounding rockets evolved: the Nike-Deacon (called DAN for Deacon and Nike) and Nike-Cajun (CAN). DAN could take a 23-kg (50-lb) payload to 111 km (69 mi), while the higher performance CAN could carry the same payload to 167 km (104 mi). It was only logical next to combine the Nike booster with the improved version of the Deacon, the Cajun. The same NACA-Michigan-Thiokol group made the modifications. The first launch of the combined Nike and Cajun took place at Wallops Island on July 6, 1956. The Nike-Cajun quickly superseded the Nike-Deacon and was widely used during the International Geophysical Year (IGY). It also found application in the Weather Bureau's Project Hugo - a long-range weather research program. The Nike-Deacons and Nike-Cajuns were cheap and reliable, the basic rocket motors having been developed and well tested during their military and NACA careers. Further, they were simple and easy to use - scientists could take them wherever targets of opportunity existed. The University of Michigan group, for example, fired five Nike-Cajuns from the U.S.S. Rushmore in 1956. Many launchings in various parts of the world followed.

University of Michigan/NACA RM-85/PWN-3 Nike-Cajun

In the early 1950s, the standard sounding rocket for high-altitude research was the Aerobee (for details, see XRM-84/PWN-2 Aerobee-Hi). However, this liquid-fueled rocket was relatively expensive and complicated to operate. Therefore various research agencies searched for simpler and cheaper rockets for routine high-altitude soundings and scientific experiments. One solution was to combine existing rocket boosters into multi-stage rockets, and the most important first stage motor for these applications was the M5 (X216A2) booster of the SAM-A-7/MIM-3 Nike Ajax anti-aircraft missile.

Following successful tests with Nike-Deacon combinations, the University of Michigan and the NACA developed a rocket with a more efficient upper stage under contract from the Air Force Cambridge Research Center (AFCRC). The result was the Thiokol TE-82 Cajun rocket, which was essentially a Deacon with an improved propellant. The first launch of a Nike-Cajun (also known as CAN for "Cajun And Nike") occurred in July 1956. The Nike booster was equipped with four instead of the normal three stabilizing fins. The Nike-Cajun could carry a payload between 4.5 kg (10 lb) and 45 kg (100lb), depending on the altitude requirement. A wide variety of payloads has been launched on Nike-Cajun rockets, including general upper atmosphere experiments, magnetic field experiments, horizon photography to obtain weather data, ionosphere experiments and astronomy payloads.

In April 1959, the USAF allocated the formal research missile designation XRM-85 to the Nike-Cajun rocket at the request of the AFCRC, and in June 1963 this designation was changed to PWN-3A. Air Force use of the XRM-85/PWN-3A was limited, however, and probably ended in the mid-1960s. The Nike-Cajun was a very successful general purpose sounding rocket, and the last flight was launched by NASA in October 1976.

Model: Cajun Dart.

Single stage vehicle.

The Cajun-Dart chaff rocket was a two-stage dart type sounding rocket. The first stage of the Cajun-Dart was the Cajun Mod III rocket motor. The Cajun motor was 2.591 meters long and had a principal diameter of 0.165 meters. The motor, less flight hardware, weighed 77.566 kilograms with 53.752 kilograms of propellant. The nominal burning time was 2.8 seconds, with a total impulse of 11,453.4 kilogram-seconds yielded a burnout velocity of slightly over 1.524 kilometers per second at an altitude of 2.134 kilometers.

When the booster burned out, the aerodynamic differential drag caused the booster to separate from the Dart. After separation the Dart continued to coast to payload ejection. The Dart was 0.044 meters in diameter, and weighed 7.711 kilograms. The nose of the Dart was designed to have a hypersonic optimum shape to keep aerodynamic drag to a minimum. The aft end was boat-tailed, forming the interstaging surfaces, as well as reducing the base drag. The payload housed inside the Dart was 655.6 cubic cm of 5-mil aluminized Mylar foil chaff cut to S-Band length.

When the Dart had reached its apogee, the payload was ejected by the use of a 145-second pyrotechnic time delay housed in the Dart's tail and initiated at launch. At 145 seconds the time delay ignited the expulsion system which ejected the Dart nose cone and the chaff payload by forcing a piston the full length of the Dart. The chaff was then free to drift with the wind as it fell. The Cajun-Dart system was launched from a rail type launcher.

The Cajun-Dart igniter consisted of a tube containing two U. S. Flare 209 Squibs, 7.5 grams of ignition powder, and 90 grams of USF 2A granules. The two squibs were wired in parallel and were of the one amp, one watt type.
