	Titan 2
		Titan II flight N-11, the eighth in a series being conducted by the Air Force to develop the weapon system, was launched from Cape Canaveral.
		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 II Missile Complex
		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 Missile Complex
		The Titan I was deployed in a 3x3 configuration, meaning a squadron of nine missiles was divided into three, three-missile launch complexes.
		The missiles were grouped in clusters of three because they had to remain close to their ground-based radars and guidance computers.
		Within the silo was a steel framework that housed both the missile and the elevator that carried it to the surface.

		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.

	Titan II Missile Site Coordinates
		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.
		Titan follow-ons are still used as space launch vehicles though the end may be in sight.

		The "big one" is a Titan II missile, and we are standing inside an original Titan missile silo, 35 feet under the desert south of Tucson.
		Upon hearing in the early 1980s that all the Titan II missile sites were to be destroyed, preservation-minded people at nearby Davis-Monthan Air Force Base suggested that one silo be preserved as a museum, a window on how close the world could have gotten to nuclear annihilation.
		The rationale behind the Titans was "peace through deterrence." The Titan II missile was a retaliatory weapon, to be fired only if the former Soviet Union had struck first.

		The Titan II ICBM program was developed by the US military to increase the size, strength, and speed of the nation's weapons arsenal in the 1950s and 60s.
		Each missile carried a single warhead, the largest in the US inventory, used liquid fuels, and was stored and launched from underground silos.
		I toured the Titan II Missile Museum, the only Titan II silo still intact, a few years ago, and began a pursuit to learn everything I could about the missile system.

		The Titan I is a two-stage missile that was developed in the event that the Atlas program was a failure.
		The missile was longer and heavier than its predecessor, and used new engines and different propellants (a 50/50 mix of hydrazine and unsymetrical dimethylhydrazine, with nitrogen tetroxide oxidizer).
		Unlike the Titan I, which was strictly used as an ICBM, the Titan II played an important role in the Gemini program as the vehicle for all of the manned missions.

		There you get to see an authentic (seemed like is was to me) Titan II missile launch facility which is the only reamaining Titan II missile silo of 54 that were built.
		This particular Titan II missile silo, Silo 571-7, was first placed in service and went on alert on 15 July 1963.
		My guess is the best place to be when a Titan II Missile launches is to be as far away as possible.
