Nike Tomahawk
Nike Tomahawk
Sounding rocket. Year: 1963. Family: Nike. Country: USA.

Two stage vehicle consisting of a Nike booster and Tomahawk upper stage. Payload 45 kg to 370 km or 115 kg to 215 km.

The sounding rocket was originally designed by the Sandia Corporation in support of Atomic Energy Commission programmes. It was subsequently adopted by NASA and Germany for scientific studies.
