The Nike program, when it ended, provided a bunch of boosters for
sounding test rockets.
A company that I worked for, in the late 50's, made what they called
the Nike ASP. The Atmospheric Sounding Projectile was a sounding
rocket on its own. Putting a Nike Ajax Booster under it provded the
capability to reach higher altitudes and with a slghtly bigger
payload.
