	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.
		The current owners of the Titan line (Lockheed-Martin) decided to extend their Atlas family of rockets instead of the more expensive Titans, along with joint ventures to sell launches on the Proton and the new Delta IV class of medium and heavy-lift launch vehicles.

	The 6555th, Chapter III, Section 6, The TITAN Ballistic Missile Program
		The TITAN I Weapon System 107A-2 program was pursued initially as insurance against the ATLAS' possible failure, but it enjoyed many technological refinements that had been deliberately left out of the ATLAS to avoid delays in the ATLAS' deployment.
		The TITAN I was conceived as a two-staged, liquid-fueled missile.
		Facilities for the TITAN I program were supposed to be developed on a high priority basis, but contractor and labor relations problems delayed completion of the facilities for several months beyond the original target dates.

		The Titan II missiles were contructed to survive a first strike nuclear attack from the Soviet Union and to retaliate.
		Titan II carried the largest single warhead used in the ICBM program and was capable of destroying targets that Atlas, Titan I and Minuteman I and II could not.
		The Titan II, designed by the Martin Company in 1958, had superior liquid propellants than the Titan I. Instead of taking 15 to 20 minutes to raise, fuel and launch Atlas or Titan I missiles, the Titan II could be launched from the underground silo in less then one minute.

	CLUI - Newsletter
		The Titan II was the largest ICBM ever made by the USA, and the program was meant as a retaliatory deterrent, only to be fired in response to a Soviet first strike.
		The missiles, each with a nuclear warhead of over one megaton (the exact amount is still classified), were kept fueled and ready to launch within one minute of receiving the command to do so.
		Many of the Titan silos were sold to the public at auction, after the Air Force detonated the launch duct and salvaged reusable equipment (the access portal and control centers were left in tact and some are used now as storage, and in some cases even as homes by their new owners).

		Before the missile was placed in the silo modifications had to be made to the both silo and missile that could be verified by ground inspection and satellite observation.

		Missile housed in a 165-foot-deep silo and was raised to the surface for launch.
		Titan II was approved for development in 1959 and was designed to correct some of the perceived shortcomings of the Titan I system.

		The 390th Strategic Missile Wing (Davis-Monthan AFB), the 381st Strategic Missile Wing (McConnell AFB) and the 308th Strategic Missile Wing (Little Rock AFB) were each charged to maintain and be prepared to launch TITAN II ICBMs on lawful order.

		Each Titan II silo was directly connected to an underground launch control capsule manned by a missile combat crew of two officers and two airman.
		Titan II deactivation was completed on 23 June 1987 when technicians removed the last Titan II missile from its silo at Little Rock AFB, Arkansas.

		Titan II was a follow-on of the Titan I, using some of the same hardware though different fuels (nitrogen tetroxide instead of liquid oxygen for the oxidizer, Aerozine-50 for the fuel instead of RP-1), a larger second stage, plus they launched from inside the silo.
		Titan IIs were used as the booster stage for the Gemini manned space flights.

		The USAF launched its first test Titan I on February 6, 1959 and in April 1962, the first Strategic Air Command squadron of nine Titan I's was declared operational.
		Eventually squadrons of Titan I's were deployed at five different bases in the western U.S. By 1965, however, Titan I's were being phased out in favor of Titan II's which offer greater range and payload, and are launched from within their silos.
		The larger and more versatile Titan III, developed from the Titan II, is one of the Air Force's major launch vehicles for its many military space programs.
