	Nike Zeus
		ZEUS had radars to acquire and track the target and also a radar to track the intercepting missile, as well as a computer.
		Another radar not found in other NIKE systems was a discrimination radar used to determine which objects being tracked were threatening, because of decoys being mixed with incoming warheads.
		ZEUS was severely limited by several factors that made its operational deployment impractical.

	Nike Zeus
		Like Nike Hercules, it was a two stage missile but instead of using the Nike Ajax booster, a new booster was used which was the largest single chamber solid rocket motor produced in the US at that time delivering over 450 000lb of thrust.
		The Nike Zeus A had a very short life as it only had a small number of launchers before being replaced by the Nike Zeus B. As a result, some sources claim that this was infact a flight test article for the booster and not actually a Nike Zeus missile at all.
		Nike Zeus B was a far more capable missile than the A version due to a number of factors.

	Project Nike
		Nike Hercules was included in SALT I discussions as a ABM and following the treaty signed in 1972 and further budget cuts almost all Nike sites were deactivated by February 4, 1974.
		Development continued, producing Improved Nike Hercules and then Nike Zeus A and B. Zeus, with a new 400,000 lb thrust solid-fuel booster, was first test fired in August 1959 and demonstrated a top speed of 8,000 mph but had certain deficiencies, it was renamed Spartan[?] in 1967.
		Some small-scale work on using Nike Zeus as an anti-satellite weapon (ASAT[?]) was carried out from 1962 until the project was cancelled in favor of Thor[?] based systems in 1966.

	Project Nike - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A huge number of the technologies and rocket systems used to develop the Nike Ajax were re-used in a number of roles, many of which gained the "Nike" name (after Nike, the goddess of victory from Greek mythology).
		Project Nike began in 1944 when the US military demanded a new defense system to combat the potential new jet aircraft, as existing gun-based systems proved completely incapable of dealing with the speeds and altitudes at which such planes operated.
		Development continued, producing Improved Nike Hercules and then Nike Zeus A and B. Zeus, with a new 400,000 lbf (1.78 MN) thrust solid-fuel booster, was first test fired in August 1959 and demonstrated a top speed of 8,000 mi/h (12,900 km/h) but had certain deficiencies and was renamed Spartan in 1967.

	Nike-Hercules Missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nike-Hercules missile systems were also sold to Japan (Nike J), which subsequently upgraded the internal guidance systems by replacing the original vacuum tube systems with transistorized ones.
		Many former Nike sites still exist around US communities, though only a few have been preserved, with one north of the Golden Gate still being maintained as a national park site, complete with an operating underground missile shelter.
		The Nike Hercules was comparable to the Soviet SA-2 Guideline medium range missile which saw considerable combat during the Vietnam War.

	The Greek Goddesses
		According to The Odyssey she was the daughter of Zeus and Dione, other myths speak of her as springing from the blood of Uranus after Cronus castrated him, and floating on the sea to Greece, where she was met by the Three Graces (who will be discussed later).
		She was the daughter of Zeus and Leto as well as being last of the Three Maiden Goddesses.
		Nike was similar to Eris because she was the constant companion to Athena.

	Nike Ajax Surface to Air Missile (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The Nike Ajax was developed in the immediate post-WWII period as a method of intercepting intercontinental range bombers being built in the U.S.S.R..
		Nike was built as a "last ditch" short range defense with missile batteries positioned around most major cities in the U.S. and in Allied countries.
		The Nike family of missiles are a direct out-growth of the Wasserfall surface-to-air missile under development by Germany at the close of WWII.

		It was followed by the Nike Zeus missile, which had a preliminary test firing Aug. 26, 1959, and could fly more than 8,000 miles an hour.
		Nike missiles were launched from a self-contained launch area, and each site had two or three launching platforms.
		The Nike missiles used the "command guidance" system, in which the major control equipment was ground based and not part of the expendable missile.

	Nike Viability 1951-2005
		Nike Ajax deployment began on May 30, 1954 at Fort Meade Maryland, four years before America’s massive lead in the bomber margin was known.
		But upon the recognition that the old Nike system was faced with a new foe, the considerable resources that were diverted into the maintenance of each site should theoretically have been redirected towards newer defense alternatives.
		A fifth explanation for the continued deployment of the Nike system is that its decommission was waylaid in order to maintain a large number of operational nuclear warheads that might be heaped upon a negotiation table during the next volley of disarmament talks in the hopes of suggesting a high level of U.S. complicity.

	Nike Ajax - engels
		The first unguided Nike missiles were fired in 1946, but problems with the original multi-rocket booster (8 solid-fuel rockets wrapped around the missile tail) soon led to delays in the program.
		The name had changed to Nike I, to distinguish it from the Nike B (later MIM-14 Nike Hercules) and Nike II (later LIM-49 Nike Zeus).
		Other problematic features of the Nike Ajax system were the liquid-fuel rocket motor with its highly toxic propellants, and the large size of a complete site with all components, which made Nike Ajax to all intents and purposes a fixed-site air defense system.
