Ran into this regarding the solid rocket booster used on the B-52H carrier
aircraft to get the drone up to ramjet ignition speed:
"The program called for the use of a solid rocket _which had been
previously qualified and man-rated for the Apollo program._
However, according to Col. Saunders, sometime after the reoriented program
was under way, Kelly Johnson ascertained that the new D-21B configuration
needed more thrust, and as a result the rocket had to be redesigned and
increased in size to accommodate the new requirement."
That's from here:

I always wondered where that booster came from; here's some photos of it:
