 Titan (launch vehicle)
The Titan III family of launch vehicles was born out of a need for rockets capable of carrying payloads heavier than those that could be handled by the Atlas-Centaur.
Performance of the Titan 34D was also improved by adding a one-half segment to the previous generation of Titan III solid rocket boosters, making a total of five and one-half segments per booster.
Titan IV Billed as “assured access to space” by the US Air Force, the Titan IV was first launched in 1989 specifically to carry large military satellites in the wake of the Challenger accident.

 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 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-11, the eighth in a series being conducted by the Air Force to develop the weapon system, 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.

 The Titan Launch Vehicle
Although the Air Force had not identified any payloads for the Titan III other than the orbital glider (which was canceled before final testing), it became clear that future payloads would cover a spectrum of space needs: reconnaissance, communications, military orbital development systems, satellite inspection and interception, surveillance and early warning, and nuclear test detection.
Indeed, the early Titan III concept would permit at least four configurations: the two-stage core vehicle, the core vehicle with a final upper stage, the core with solid-rocket boosters for an initial stage, and the core with solid boosters and an upper stage.
Aerospace was centrally involved in the development of the Titan III vehicle and a new launch-site processing concept called "Integrate, Transfer, and Launch." This revolutionary concept was driven by the configuration variability of the vehicle and the predicted launch rates as high as 60 per year (see "A Complete Range of Launch Activities").

 Spaceflight :The Titan Launch Vehicle
Titan missiles armed with nuclear warheads remained on strategic alert for 25 years until the last one was decommissioned in 1987.
The Titan IIIC variation (with the twin solid rocket motors) was intended to launch the Air Force's planned X-20 Dyna Soar piloted spacecraft as well as a variety of heavy unpiloted military satellites.
The first Titan III vehicle (designated Titan IIIA), consisting of the core vehicle without the strap-on solid rockets, was launched from Cape Canaveral on September 1, 1964, followed by three additional test launches in 1964 and 1965.

 Titan III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Titan IIIC was the most recent and largest unmanned space booster used by the Air Force until the Titan IV was developed in 1988.
The third stage, the Titan Transtage, was a restartable upper stage used with the Titan IIC, Titan IIIA, and Titan 34D.
The Titan rocket family was established in October 1955 when the Air Force awarded the Glenn L. Martin Company (later Martin Marietta and now Lockheed Martin) a contract to build an intercontinental ballistic missile (SM-68).

 The 6555th, Chapter IV, Section 4, The TITAN III Program
The contract for the TITAN IIIC launch complexes was awarded to C. Leavell and Peter Kiewit and Sons on 13 June 1963, and it was completed in 1965 for approximately $17 million.
Complex 41 was turned over to the TITAN III Division's Operations Branch for beneficial occupancy on 18 June 1965, and the facility was accepted by the Air Force in December 1965.
The Division had 31 officers, 18 airmen and 14 civilians assigned to monitor the TITAN III program by the end of 1963, and the personnel roster grew to 39 officers, 31 airmen and 14 civilians by the middle of 1964.
