I have always loved rockets and missiles!

Growing up in the 60's with all of the launches and the fear of missiles. Got into model rocketry in a big way and that lasted thru today.

This missile was used to collect weather information in the Earth's upper atmosphere.

Nearby is a Apollo Practice Capsule never flew in space, but was used by the U.S. Navy to practice ocean recoveries.

The Nike Tomahawk was a two stage American sounding rocket. The first stage was a Nike rocket, the second a Tomahawk rocket.

A sounding rocket is an instrument carrying suborbital rocket designed to take measurements and perform scientific experiments during its flight.

The Nike-Tomahawk also saw considerable operational use by NASA beginning in 1965. Originally developed by the Thiokol Chemical Corp. for Sandia Corp., the acting agent for the AEC, the Nike-Tomahawk carried a larger payload to higher altitudes than the Nike-Apache.
