	Titan (rocket family) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Titan was a family of U.S. expendable rockets used between 1959 and 2005.
		The Titan II was a hypergolicly-fueled two-stage ICBM that was used by the U.S. Air Force from the mid 1960s to the mid 1980s.
		As of 2006, the Titan family of rockets are obsolete.

	Titan 2
		The Titan 2 ICBM had been outfitted with a Delco Carousel- type guidance similar to that used in the Titan 3 while it was still deployed as a ballistic missile.
		Titan II flight N-20, the 19th in the series of Air Force research and development flights, was launched from Cape Canaveral.
		Thirty-two Titan II test flights were analyzed to determine whether any characteristic of the flight would have demanded a Gemini abort; 22 were adjudged successful from the standpoint of a Gemini mission, nine would have required Gemini to abort, and one resulted in a prelaunch shutdown.

	Titan
		The Titan III launch vehicle was the result of an effort by military planners to increase low orbit payload weight to 25,000 pounds, establish a high degree of standardization, and provide significantly greater economies of operation, using a vehicle assembled from standard building blocks and possessing high reliability and mission flexibility.
		The Titan III designation was initially used in mid-1959 for a two stage 160-inch diameter non-cryogenic missile (with a Centaur third stage) as a successor to Titan II with a capability of fulfilling the Saturn space mission.
		Titan IIIA was a two-stage liquid-propellant vehicle that employed two solid-propellant motors to augment the thrust capability of the basic vehicle during lift-off.

		Titan Is were eventually replaced between 1963 and 1965 by more powerful and redesigned Titan IIs.
		The Titan III-A was quickly replaced however by the Titan III-B which usually had an Agena D as the third stage; this combination launched numerous Air Force satellites during the 1960s and 1970s.
		The biggest change to the Titan series, however, was the addition of two large solid rockets to the main vehicle to increase the available thrust at liftoff from 463,000 to 2,360,000 pounds.

		A Titan 4B was launched in October 2001, carrying an undisclosed cargo, likely to be some form of spy satellite.
		Family of US space rockets, developed from the Titan intercontinental missile.
		More powerful Titans, with additional stages and strap-on boosters, such as the Titan-Centaur, were used to launch spy satellites and space probes, including the Viking and Voyager probes, Mars Observer, and Cassini.

		Compared to a liquid-propellant rocket, a solid-propellant rocket has fewer parts, simpler construction, is safer and more reliable, and yet it can develop greater power (thrust) than a liquid-propellant rocket of the same size.
		The Titan launch vehicle family was developed by the United States Air Force to meet its medium lift requirements in the 1960's.
		Titan 3C was made of the 3 stages of Titan 3A plus two lateral solid boosters of 3.1 m diameter.

		The Titan launched on schedule, soaring up the U.S. East Coast to the dazzling delight of spectators from Florida to New England who saw the rocket's exhaust trail and the remarkable sight when the first stage jettisoned at the moment of second stage ignition.
		This was the 168th Titan from the Cape.
		The rocket is passing an altitude of 67 miles as it travels 81 miles downrange of the pad on this northeast trajectory.

	Titan 4B
		The Titan core vehicle operated correctly, but a software error in the Centaur stage resulted in all three planned burns being made at the wrong times, during the first orbit instead of over a six hour period.
		However the short 50 foot Titan fairing was used instead of the 66 foot fairing used by Lacrosse.
		Titan 4B-41 with core stage K-30 took off from Cape Canaveral and placed Milstar and the Centaur TC-22 upper stage in a suborbital trajectory.

	Spaceflight Now \| Titan Launch Report \| Reality realized: Titan has left Cape Canaveral
		Relegated to retirement, the Titans are fading into history in favor of less-expensive and more modular Atlas 5 and Delta 4 rocket fleets to fulfill the U.S. government's heavy-lifting needs in space.
		Titan began in the 1950s as a two-stage intercontinental ballistic missile, which made its first launch from the Cape in 1959.
		Titan has been a good run and I don't know there is anything else in the industry that would fulfill me as much Titan has," Freels said.

	Proton 8K82
		The Proton had its origin in the early 1960’s, as a heavy two-stage rocket that could be used to launch large military payloads into space as well as act as a ballistic missile for nuclear warheads up to 100 MT in yield.
		At this time the military-political leadership formulated a requirement for a heavy rocket that could be used to launch large military payloads into space as well as act as a ballistic missile for nuclear warheads up to 100 MT in yield.
		The rocket was to be built initially for the GR-2 requirement - a heavy rocket that could be used to launch large military payloads into space as well as act as a ballistic missile for multiple nuclear warheads up to 100 MT in yield.

		Titan 1's began launching in 1959, then evolved into the Titan 2 missiles that also found use in the 1960s by blasting NASA's manned Gemini missions into orbit in the precursor to Apollo and were retrofitted in the 1980s for lofting government spacecraft, including weather satellites.
		Various Titan 3, 34B and 34D satellite-launchers and finally the largest and most powerful version -- the Titan 4 -- were conceived through the years to incrementally increase the capability of the rocket family.
