Hercules solid rocket motor developed in World War II that later became the basis of dozens of test vehicle and sounding rocket configurations. The design was upgraded to the Cajun, then the Apache. An equivalent was produced by Atlantic Research as the Arcon. Thousands were flown as single stage vehicles; in combination with other lower or upper stages; or carried aloft by balloons in the Rockoon configuration.

Status: Retired 1963. First Launch: 1947-04-01. Last Launch: 1958-08-26. Number: 95 . Payload: 17 kg (37 lb). Thrust: 27.00 kN (6,069 lbf). Gross mass: 93 kg (205 lb). Height: 3.28 m (10.76 ft). Diameter: 0.16 m (0.52 ft). Span: 0.51 m (1.67 ft). Apogee: 20 km (12 mi).

In January 1945 the Allegheny Ballistics Laboratory (ABL) began work on advanced solid propellant rocket motors under the National Defense Research Council. These would use new double-base propellants, the star-shaped internal grain layout developed by the British, and use lightweight aluminum motor cases instead of steel. A series of motors were named after religious ranks (as opposed to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's use of, military ranks for its rocket series). These included the Curate (42 mm diameter), Vicar (127 mm), and Deacon (159 mm). Further work was halted at the end of World War 2, by which time between 200 and 300 motors had been produced. However the propellant used was considered obsolete and there were no plans to use the motors in any Army missile.

However in the post-war years the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) had a requirement for a rocket to test aerodynamic models at hypersonic speeds. They found the surplus Deacon motors to be suitable to their requirements, and had ABL rework them with new motor grains. The first test flight from Wallops Island Test Station over the Atlantic was in April 1947. Ten subsequent tests took model aircraft and missile shapes up to 4480 kph. The Deacon had a 66 G acceleration and was flown singly, or clustered, and became a NACA workhorse. Once the surplus motors were used, thousands of new production motors were made by Hercules (the former ABL). The Deacon made an enormous contribution to 1950's air vehicle development - aircraft shapes tested included the Navaho, Snark, Redstone, Sparrow, Falcon, Sidewinder, F-8, F-11, F-6, F-100, F-102, F-103, F-104, and F-107.

The Deacon motor had other uses beyond aerodynamic research. It was employed during Operation Pogo to fire metalized parachutes to high altitudes for radar tracking. Navy Terrapin sounding rockets also used the Deacon motor, and Deacons were carried to high altitudes by balloons prior to firing in the Rockoon program.

Payload: 17 kg (37 lb) to a 20 km altitude.

Subtopics

ALSOR American test vehicle. Two stage vehicle consisting of 1 x F-104A Starfighter + 1 x Viper I

Apache American sounding rocket. The Apache upper stage was an improved version of the Cajun. The Thiokol engine used aluminized polyurethane propellant with a higher specific impulse and phenolic lining in the steel nozzle. Cost to NASA was $ 6,000 per rocket. The Apache could be used in a single stage version, but was normally used with a booster stage, usually the Nike.

Arcon American sounding rocket. Similar to the Deacon and Cajun. Developed by the Atlantic Research Corp. for NRL. First used in 1958. Designed to lift 18 kg to 113 km. The two-stage vehicle consisted of two Arcon motors in tandem.

Deacon Rockoon American sounding rocket. The Rockoon concept involved release of a 12 m diameter balloon from a ship, which took a Deacon sounding rocket to 9 to 27 km altitude in 80 minutes. The rocket was ignited at a preset time or altitude or by remote control, and then boosted an 18 kg payload to a 50 to 100 km altitude. The Deacon was painted black and wrapped in plastic to protect it against the cold, and fitted with larger fins for stability at high altitude.

Nike Apache American sounding rocket. The most popular sounding rocket introduced during the early 1960's was this two-stage, solid-propellant vehicle consisting of a Nike booster and Apache upper stage.

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.

Nike Deacon American test vehicle. Two-stage rocket using surplus Nike boosters and Deacon sounding rocket upper stage. The combination was much cheaper than Aerobee, and unlike Rockoon could be launched from fixed launchers in two and a half hours. It was used for 'falling sphere' air density studies, atmospheric soundings, and for heat transfer studies launched from NACA Wallops Island.
