Sounding rocket. Country: USA. Status: Active.

American unguided solid-propellant barrage anti-aircraft rocket adapted to use as a meteorological sounding rocket.

Loki began as an American version of the German Taifun unguided barrage anti-aircraft rocket. This rocket boosted a small-diameter explosive dart towards high-altitude aircraft. Development was contracted to Bendix and started in 1948. Many difficulties were encountered and the decision was finally taken to switch from the storable liquid propellants of the Taifun to a solid propellant motor. In order to obtain the necessary accuracy, it was necessary to fire thousands of rockets in order to prepare artillery-like 'firing tables'. To support this, JPL fired 3,544 Loki rockets at White Sands, carefully measuring the performance of each. The Army finally cancelled the weapons program in 1956 in favour of guided Nike-Ajax and Hawk missiles. This left thousands of Lokis available for use as sounding rockets. Later new production was initiated and the rocket continued in support of scientific and military weather monitoring programmes to the end of the 1980's. The original Loki I motor was supplemented by the Loki II, with 50% more propellant, in 1957. Variations included:

Rockoon, where the rocket was taken to high altitude by a weather balloon before being fired. See the separate entry on Rockoon for details of this version
WASP with a payload of chaff (strips of radar-reflective foil). This was fired from Navy ships from a helical launcher strapped to the five inch gun. An explosive charge would disperse the chaff cloud at the desired altitude, and be tracked by the radar of the ship to determine winds aloft.
HASP used the more powerful Loki II motor, which allowed a functional payload to be carried as an alternative to the chaff. A miniaturised transmitter using a single vacuum tube was developed. As the dart descended under an aluminised mylar parachute (allowing it to be tracked by radar), it would transmit temperature and pressure data. The rocket was modified with 'riders' to allow it to be fired directly from the barrel of a 5 inch naval gun.
Oriole - a version with a cosmic ray and solar radiation payload developed by the University of Maryland.
Loki II-Dart - version developed by the University of Iowa for cosmic ray measurements during the International Geophysical Year. Six of 14 launched returned data.

The Loki was supplemented by the Super Loki-Dart with a new larger-diameter motor, from 1970.

JPL RM-82/PWN-1 Loki-Dart

The Loki-Dart was a very popular low-cost sounding rocket of the 1950s and early 1960s. It was developed from the Army's abandoned Loki anti-aircraft rocket, and sounding rockets using the "boosted dart" principle of the Loki-Dart are still in use today.

In 1946 the U.S. Army began studies for a cheap unguided anti-aircraft rocket as an interim replacement for conventional anti-aircraft artillery, before the more advanced guided missiles were developed. In November 1948, Bendix was awarded a contract to develop the Loki anti-aircraft rocket. Bendix designed Loki with a single rocket booster, which propelled a narrow dart-shaped warhead to high speed. After rocket burnout, the booster separated from the dart because of aerodynamic drag difference, and the dart continued to coast toward its target, where it was detonated by a time-delayed impact fuze. The Loki was to be employed as a barrage rocket, i.e. fired in large numbers in very quick succession against incoming aircraft. Bendix originally began to develop a liquid-fueled booster, but because of anticipated difficulties, a parallel development effort for a solid-propellant motor was started at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in March 1951. In February 1952, it was finally decided to discontinue the liquid-fueled booster option. The first flight of a solid-rocket Loki occurred in June 1951, and during the following four-year test program, several thousand Lokis were fired. The result of these tests was that the Loki was unsuitable as an air-defense weapon. Dispersion of the rockets was far too large, mainly because the launch of the first rocket in a salvo would distort the aim of the next ones. Furthermore, the far more capable SAM-A-7/MIM-3 Nike Ajax guided anti-aircraft missile had become operational in 1954, making the Loki an obsolete weapon. Therefore, the Loki anti-aircraft rocket was cancelled in September 1955.

However, this cancellation was not the end for the Loki. In 1955 the U.S. Navy had the idea to fill the dart with chaff instead of an explosive warhead. Launched almost vertically, the dart was carried to high altitude where the chaff was released. By tracking the falling chaff by radar, accurate measurements of high-altitude wind speed and direction could be obtained. In the following years, Loki-Dart sounding rockets with the original JPL rocket or newer improved motors were widely used by civilian and military customers. The USAF allocated the missile designation XRM-82 to a Loki-Dart variant with a JPL-132A motor and a chaff-filled dart. The XRM-82 was launched from a tube-launcher, could reach an apogee of 55 km (180000 ft), and was used by the Air Force in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

In June 1963, the XRM-82 was redesignated as PWN-1A. At that time, however, there were already more advanced Loki-derived sounding rockets available, and the PWN-1A was probably no longer used by the mid-1960s. Advanced developments of the basic Loki-Dart, which were used by the U.S. military services, included the Cooper Development Rocksonde (PWN-5), Space Data Corporation's instrumented Loki-Dart (PWN-8) and Space Data's Super Loki-Dart family (PWN-10, PWN-11, PWN-12).

Space Data PWN-8 Loki Datasonde

In the early 1960s, the low-cost Loki-Dart sounding rockets (PWN-1, PWN-5) could only carry a passive chaff payload to high altitude. For more sophisticated payloads like temperature transmitters, the USAF had to use the significantly more expensive Arcas (PWN-6 Kitty) rocket. The Space Data Corporation (SDC) was founded in 1963 with the goal to develop a meteorological instrument package small enough to fit into the 3.5 cm (1.38 in) diameter darts of the Loki-Dart systems.

SDC designed an instrument package which would be released from the dart at high altitude and descend slowly below a square metalized mylar parachute structure called "starute". A circuit with a thermistor (temperature-sensitive resistor) would continually transmit temperature data to the ground station. Altitude information was obtained by tracking the descending starute by radar. The rocket motor of SDC's Loki-Dart was based on the Rocket Power Inc. "Judi-1" design, and assembled by Aero Dyne Corporation. Because the original Loki-Dart was only marginally stable in the motor burnout phase, SDC built slightly heavier darts, which decreased the apogee by about 3000 m (10000 ft) but significantly enhanced the stability, and therefore reliability, of the system. SDC's instrumented Loki-Dart was qualified for production in 1966, and more than 20000 units were built until production ceased in 1985.

The initial Air Force variant of the instrumented Loki-Dart was the PWN-8A, but the main USAF version was the PWN-8B. Because it was significantly cheaper than the PWN-6 Kitty (Arcas), the PWN-8B quickly replaced the latter for many every-day routine applications. The PWN-8B itself was eventually replaced in USAF service in the early 1970s by the larger Super Loki family (PWN-10, PWN-11, PWN-12) of sounding rockets. SDC marketed the rocket as the Loki Datasonde(r), which is sometimes referred to as PWN-8D. This is an unofficial designation, with the D suffix possibly chosen to mean "Datasonde".

Cooper Development RM-88/PWN-5 Rocksonde 200

In 1956, the Cooper Development Corporation (CDC) received a contract for large scale production of sounding rockets of the Loki-Dart (PWN-1) type for use as weather research vehicles. This resulted in the Rocksonde (sometimes written as Roksonde) family of sounding rockets, of which several throusand were built in the following years. CDC offered two basic rockets motors, creating the Rocksonde 100 and Rocksonde 200 vehicle families, respectively. The former used the RM-2110 with 0.8 sec burn time for flights to about 30 km (100000 ft) altitude, while the latter had a RM-2210 motor with 1.9 sec burn time for altitudes up to 60 km (200000 ft). Darts of various diameters and different payloads could be custom-designed for each user.

The U.S. Air Force assigned the designation XRM-88 to a Rocksonde 200 variant with chaff payload. The XRM-88 could reach an altitude of about 60 km (37 miles), and the falling chaff was tracked by an AN/FMQ-6 ground-based wind-sensing system to obtain wind speed and direction data from high to medium altitudes. In June 1963, the XRM-88 was redesignated as PWN-5A. It continued to be used throughout the 1960s, but was eventually replaced as the USAF's standard low-cost weather rocket by the instrumented Loki-Dart (PWN-8).

Space Data PWN-10 Super Loki Datasonde

In the late 1960s, the USAF wanted a version of the instrumented Loki-Dart (PWN-8) with a transponder integrated into the payload to allow a ground tracking technique other than radar. The "starute" (square-shaped metalized parachute structure) was also to be of greater diamater to compensate the higher payload weight. All this required a larger dart, and in turn a more powerful booster. For this purpose, Space Data Corporation developed the Super Loki booster. The significantly increased power more than made up for the heavier dart, and could be used to increase overall safety of the system by adding a weight to the booster/dart adapter. This made the booster much more stable after burnout and separation, preventing a tumbling descent on an uncontrolled trajectory. Super Loki rockets are launched from a pad-mounted helical rail-gun launcher, which can be adjusted in azimuth and elevation. The spiral rails impose a stabilizing spin on the rocket during launch.

The USAF used several Super Loki boosted meteorological probes, the first of which was the PWN-10A. It carried a dart with a temperature sensor, a telemetry transmitter, and a transponder. The instrument package transmitted temperature data, and received and transmitted ranging data for accurate tracking to determine wind speed and direction. The PWN-10B was identical except that the ranging receiver was not included in the payload (therefore requiring a powerful tracking radar). From about 1970, the PWN-10 replaced the much more expensive PWN-6 Kitty (Arcas) and the less capable PWN-8 as the Air Force's standard meteorological sounding rocket.

Other derivatives of the Super Loki-Dart used by the USAF were the PWN-11 and PWN-12 probes. In the late 1990s, the PWN-10 (also known as the Super Loki Transpondersonde) was still used by NASA Wallops for high-altitude weather recordings. The probe was then referred to as PWN-10D Datasonde(r), but this is a non-military designation (the suffix "D" was possibly chosen to mean "Datasonde"). Current prime contractor for all Super Loki related rockets is Orbital Sciences, which acquired Space Data in 1991.

Space Data PWN-11 Super Loki Datasonde

The PWN-11A uses the same Super Loki rocket motor and temperature measuring instrument package as the PWN-10 probe (q.v. for further details), but has a smaller and lighter dart without a transponder unit. Therefore the PWN-11A can reach a slightly higher apogee (80 km (50 miles) vs. 70 km (43 miles) of the PWN-10) but requires a tracking radar to get wind speed and direction data.

In the late 1990s, the PWN-11 (also known as Super Loki Rocketsonde) was still used by NASA Wallops for high-altitude weather recordings. The probe was then usually referred to as PWN-11D Datasonde(r), but this is a non-military designation (the suffix "D" was possibly chosen to mean "Datasonde").

Space Data PWN-12 Super Loki ROBIN

The PWN-12A is another sounding rocket using the Super Loki booster of the PWN-10 and PWN-11. It uses a dart with a ROBIN (Rocket Balloon Instrument) Inflatable Falling Sphere payload. At an apogee of about 115 km (70 miles), the dart releases an ML-568/AM metalized mylar balloon, which is inflated to 1 m (3.3 ft) diameter and 12 hPa pressure. While it is slowly descending back to earth, the balloon is tracked by a high-precision radar (e.g. AN/FPS-10) on the ground. Minimum tracking altitude is about 30 km (18 miles), where the ambient pressure will cause the balloon to collapse. Using the balloon's known mass and volume, the radar track can be used to calculate atmospheric data like wind speed/direction and air density. The latter can then be used to calculate air pressure and temperature.

Other than the telemetry-equipped PWN-10 and PWN-11 probes, the PWN-12A ROBIN requires a high-precision radar to get air temperature data. However, its maximum altitude and temperature measurement ranges are greater than that of the datasondes. PWN-12A rockets (also known as Super Loki Inflatable Sphere) are still used today on NASA and military stations for regular high-altitude weather probing.

Super Loki. Status: Active.

Larger-diameter version of single-stage Loki sounding rocket, developed originally for NASA's Marshall Spaceflight Center.

A new motor with a diameter of 102 mm replaced the original Loki, and after seperation of the payload dart the depleted motor had better ballistic characteristics, ensuring it would not land outside of the planned impact area. This sounding rocket, with both chaff and instrument payloads, continued in use into the 21st Century.

The Super Loki stable booster rocket systems was developed by Bruce Bollermann at Space Data Corporation to obtain high altitude temperature, density, and wind measurements by means of small inexpensive rocket systems which had post-burnout stable booster trajectories. These systems could be used at ranges where booster wind drift was a safety problem. The expended rocket booster impacted at a range of about 4.56 km from the launch site. These systems were developed to replace the Super Loki PWN-10A, PWN-10B, and PWN-12A at launch sites requiring either transponder or falling sphere payloads and stable booster impacts.
