The Nike-Cajun Sounding Rocket
Journal of Jet Propulsion, 1957The Nike-Cajun all solid propellant sounding rocket is a two-stage combination, using the Nike booster as first stage and the Cajun as the instrument-carrying second stage. When fired at 85 deg launching angle and with a 15sec coast between stages, it has carried 50 lb to 100 miles altitude.

The OGRESS sounding rocket payload
SPIE Proceedings, 2013We present an overview of the Off-plane Grating Rocket for Extended Source Spectroscopy (OGRESS) sounding rocket payload based at the University of Iowa. OGRESS is designed to perform moderate resolution (R~10- 40) spectroscopy of diffuse celestial X-ray sources between 0.3 – 1.2 keV.

Meteorological Rocket Soundings in the Arctic
Journal of Jet Propulsion, 1958Some thirty upper atmosphere rocket soundings have been made in t h e Arctic so far in t h e International Geophysical Year t o measure temperature , pressure, density and winds. Aerobees in the various models and NikeCajuns have been t h e vehicles. The experiments have included the freely-falling sphere for measuring densit ies , the rocket-grenade ...

Ram Effect in Sounding Rockets
Canadian Journal of Physics, 1971When a conducting body moves through a plasma, it collects charges. When the conductor has reached its floating potential the collection rates at the front and back differ and a current flows through the conductor. This "ram current" if measured may provide a simple way of determining the ambient ion density.The "ram current" is examined and the ...

Rocket Soundings of the Upper Atmosphere
Nature, 1964DURING the first World Geophysical Interval of the IQSY, measurements of temperature and winds were made at heights up to 60 km, using the new meteorological rocket Skua, launched from the Royal Artillery Guided Weapons Range at South Uist in the Outer Hebrides (57.3° N., 7.4° W.). The results of these measurements are shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

The DXL and LXT Sounding rockets
2023The Diffuse X-rays from the Local galaxy (DXL) is a sounding rocket mission dedicated to the study of solar wind charge exchange (SWCX) and local hot bubble properties (LHB). It was successfully launched four times, with the last launch in January 2022 from Wallops Flight Facility (WFF) using a sealed payload and water recovery.
