Status: Retired 1995. First Launch: 1963-06-25. Last Launch: 1995-11-27. Number: 407 . Payload: 45 kg (99 lb). Thrust: 217.00 kN (48,783 lbf). Gross mass: 990 kg (2,180 lb). Height: 10.80 m (35.40 ft). Diameter: 0.42 m (1.37 ft). Apogee: 370 km (220 mi).
The sounding rocket was originally designed by the Sandia Corporation in support of Atomic Energy Commission programs. It was subsequently adopted by NASA and Germany for scientific studies.
From NASA SOUNDING ROCKETS, 1958-1968 - A Historical Summary, NASA SP-4401, 1971, by William R. Corliss
The Nike-Tomahawk also saw considerable operational use by NASA beginning in 1965. Originally developed by the Thiokol Chemical Corp. for Sandia Corp., the acting agent for the AEC, the Nike-Tomahawk carried a larger payload to higher altitudes than the Nike-Apache.
Payload: 45 kg (99 lb) to a 370 km altitude.
