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

Some 40 of the original Aerobee design (XASR-1) were fire before this sounding rocket was supplanted by an improved model termed the "Aerobee-Hi" and, after further improvements, the Aerobee 150. There were actually two Aerobee-Hi's: the Air Force version (Air Force-Hi) and the Navy version (Navy-Hi) as well as some interim and "standard" models. The Aerobee-Hi's were born when the Navy and Air Force were approached by Aerojet in 1952 on the subject of an improved Aerobee - a rocket capable of lifting 68 kg (150 lb) to about 240 km (150 ml). Aerojet received an Air Force contract in 1952 and another from the Navy in 1953. The fundamental difference between the Aerobee-Hi and the original Aerobee - whose thrust had been upgraded from 1179 to about 1800 kg (from 2600 to about 4000 lb) - was the propellant capacity. Beyond this, the Air Force and Navy each had its own modifications of the basic vehicle. The first Air Force-Hi rose from Holloman Air Development Command in New Mexico on April 21, 1955. It carried a payload of 97.5 kg (215 lb) to 198.0 km (123 mi). The first Navy launch occurred at White Sands on August 25, 1955, but the test rocket attained scarcely more than 3-km (2-mi) altitude when the main Aerobee engine failed to ignite. Despite the initial difficulties the Navy experienced, the Aerobee-Hi soon proved as reliable as its predecessor and replaced the original Aerobee as the "workhorse" of space research.

The first major improvement of the basic Aerobee was the Aerobee-Hi, which was developed from late 1952 and first flew in 1955. It had a longer propellant tank, new materials in the rocket engine for higher efficiency, and larger fins for improved stability. Initially two different variants were built for USAF and U.S. Navy, the Air Force-Hi (which didn't use any formal designation, except for the general project designator MX-1961) and the RTV-N-13 (later RV-N-13) Navy-Hi (with variants up to RV-N-13c). The Air Force-Hi could loft a payload of 68 kg (150 lb) to about 240 km (150 miles), while the slightly longer Navy-Hi could reach 270 km (170 miles). There were several different Aerobee-Hi sustainer engine configurations, known as AJ11-6, AJ11-18, AJ11-20, AJ11-21, AJ11-25 and AGVL-0113C/F/H/I. In 1959, the name Aerobee 150 was assigned by NASA to a "standarized" Aerobee-Hi, which was a slightly modified Air Force-Hi. The last of the variants of the original Aerobee was the Aerobee 150A, which was a 150 with changed internal tank arrangement and four instead of three fins on booster and sustainer.

In April 1959, the USAF, at the request of the Air Force Cambridge Research Center (AFCRC), allocated the formal research missile designation XRM-84 to an Aerobee-Hi configuration with the Aerojet AJ11-21 sustainer. This was very similar to (and possibly identical to one version of) the RV-N-13 Navy-Hi. In June 1963 the XRM-84 was redesignated as PWN-2A, but use of the Aerobee family by the USAF ended at some time in the mid-1960s.

In total, more than 800 examples of the first Aerobee versions (basic Aerobee, Aerobee-Hi and Aerobee 150/150A) were built and flown by the U.S. military services and NASA between 1947 and 1985 (when the last Aerobee 150 was launched by NASA). It was the first American general purpose high-altitude sounding rocket. It's most serious drawback was the liquid-fueled sustainer engine, and the need for a relatively large launch tower. Therefore it was not suitable for mass firings (many rockets from a single location within a relatively short time frame) or for launches in remote locations or from ships. For these purposes, in the mid-1950s solid-fueled sounding rockets began to appear, which used many multi-stage combinations of surplus and new solid-rocket boosters. One of these, which was also used by the U.S. military, was the Nike-Cajun (XRM-85/PWN-3). The Aerobee itself was developed into several significantly enlarged rockets like the Aerobee 170, Aerobee 300, Aerobee 350 and the Astrobee family.

Aerobee Hi was a development of the basic Aerobee with longer propellant tanks, improved materials, a better propellant fraction, and smaller fins. 9.3 m l x 0.39 m dia. The booster stage fired for 2.5 seconds and took the rocket to 270 m altitude and 820 kph. The upper stage then fired for 25 seconds, burning out at 40 km altitude travelling at 6400 kph. Thereafter the payload would coast up to 270 km altitude before falling back toward earth.
