Nike Orion
Part of Hawk
Nike Orion |
American sounding rocket. Two stage vehicle. Payload 68 kg to 190 km or 204 kg to 90 km. The Nike motor had three equally spaced unmodified Ajax fins, and the Orion motor had four fins on the aft end arranged in a cruciform configuration to provide stability. The first stage Nike booster had an action time of 3.2 seconds. The second stage ignited 9 seconds after liftoff and had an action time of 32 seconds. Capability 68 kg payload to 190 kilometers or a 204 kg payload to 90 kilometers when launched from sea level at an 85 degree launch angle.
Status: Active. First Launch: 1977-02-26. Last Launch: 2002-05-16. Number: 180 . Thrust: 217.00 kN (48,783 lbf). Gross mass: 1,100 kg (2,400 lb). Height: 9.00 m (29.50 ft). Diameter: 0.42 m (1.37 ft). Apogee: 140 km (80 mi).
The Nike-Orion was a two-stage, unguided, fin stabilized rocket system which utilized a Nike M5-El (or M88) first stage booster and a surplus Army Orion rocket motor for the second stage propulsion. The Nike motor had three equally spaced unmodified Ajax fins, and the Orion motor had four fins on the aft end arranged in a cruciform configuration to provide stability. The first stage Nike booster had an action time of 3.2 seconds. The second stage ignited 9 seconds after liftoff and had an action time of 32 seconds.
The standard payload for the Nike-Orion had a principal diameter of 36 cm and utilized various nose cone fineness ratios. The normal payload length varied from about 1.8 to 3.0 m although this was not the maximum envelope. Payloads from 15 to 44 cm diameter were also flown on the Nike-Orion. Standard hardware included a separable clamshell nose cone and an Orion Standard Ignition System. Separation systems could be provided to separate the payload from the motor during ascent.
