Asp


Nike-Asp
Nike-Asp

American sounding rocket (Atmospheric Sounding Projectile) originally designed against a US Navy Bureau of Ships requirement to sample the mushroom clouds of nuclear explosions. Developed by Cooper Development Corporation for the Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory. Flight test in 1956. Designed to lift 13.6 kg to 40 km.

AKA: Atmospheric Sounding Projectile. Status: Retired 1963. First Launch: 1955-12-01. Last Launch: 1962-06-14. Number: 30 . Payload: 11 kg (24 lb). Thrust: 42.00 kN (9,441 lbf). Gross mass: 111 kg (244 lb). Height: 3.68 m (12.07 ft). Diameter: 0.17 m (0.54 ft). Span: 0.51 m (1.67 ft). Apogee: 110 km (60 mi).

The single stage vehicle used the Grand Central Rocket motor developed to replace the Deacon, but which had lost the Air Force competition to the Thiokol Cajun. After tests at White Sands, two salvos of six rockets were fired during the Operation Redwing nuclear tests. The rocket would later be combined with a Nike first stage for upper atmosphere and solar research.

Payload: 11 kg (24 lb) to a 110 km altitude.
