Nike Cajun

Part of Deacon

Nike-Cajun

American sounding rocket. 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.

AKA: PWN-3;PWN-3A;RM-85. Status: Retired 1976. First Launch: 1956-07-06. Last Launch: 1976-10-06. Number: 761 . Payload: 23 kg (50 lb). Thrust: 246.00 kN (55,303 lbf). Gross mass: 698 kg (1,538 lb). Height: 7.70 m (25.20 ft). Diameter: 0.42 m (1.37 ft). Span: 1.51 m (4.96 ft). Apogee: 120 km (70 mi).

From NASA SOUNDING ROCKETS, 1958-1968 - A Historical Summary, NASA SP-4401, 1971, by William R. Corliss

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 The Nike-Cajun quickly superseded the Nike-Deacon and was widely used during the International Geophysical Year (IGY).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.
