From NASA SOUNDING ROCKETS, 1958-1968 - A Historical Summary, NASA SP-4401, 1971, by William R. Corliss
The most popular sounding rocket introduced during the 1960-1964 period was the two-stage, solid-propellant Nike-Apache, which was similar to the Nike-Cajun in most respects. The primary difference was the propellant and the phenolic lining of the Apache steel nozzle. The Cajun did not have this lining, and the direct exposure of its steel can to high exhaust temperatures was considered undesirable. The Marquardt Asp was tried as a replacement for the Cajun but did not prove satisfactory. NASA eventually adopted the Apache, which had already been developed by Thiokol in Elkton, Md. The Nike-Apache has been fired in large numbers since 1962.
Payload: 36 kg (79 lb) to a 200 km altitude.
