The Aerobee Hi was an advanced variant of the Aerobee sounding rocket series, developed in the early 1950s to conduct high-altitude scientific research. It played a pivotal role in gathering data on the Earth’s upper atmosphere and near-space environment.

The Aerobee Hi was extensively used by the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, and NASA throughout the 1950s and beyond. It was launched from various sites, including the White Sands Proving Ground in New Mexico. The rocket was instrumental in conducting experiments to measure physical characteristics of the ionosphere and other upper atmospheric phenomena.
