American sounding rocket. Single stage vehicles consisting first of just the Nike booster were initially fired in the course of development of the Nike-Ajax surface-to-air missile. Later it was used occasionally as a sounding rocket, but much more often as the boost stage of a multi-stage sounding rocket.

One notable variant of the Nike in its sounding-rocket form was NASA's Nike Smoke. This consisted of a separable ten degree nose cone filled with titanium tetrachloride solution. This left a smoke trail in the sky, allowing winds aloft to be determined by optical measurement. Hundreds of Nike Smokes and two stage Nike-Nike Smokes were launched in the 1960's and 1970's.

Payload: 70 kg (154 lb) to a 23 km altitude.
