	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 2
		This was the eleventh Titan II flight and the third to use increased pressure in the propellant tanks of stage I to reduce longitudinal oscillations (POGO).
		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.

		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.
		The Titan series of launch vehicles have usually used one of four main upper stages -- the Agena, the Transtage, the Boeing Inertial Upper Stage, of the Centaur -- depending on the payload and the mission.

	Space Today Online -- Beating Swords Into Plowshares -- Converted Titan 2 ICBM Space Launches
		When the aging Titan 2 ICBM national defense system was replaced and deactivated by June 1987, the U.S. government decided to convert fourteen of the leftover missiles to launch U.S. government payloads to Earth orbit.
		The December 1999 blast-off was the ninth for a converted Titan 2 and the second DMSP weather satellite launched by a Titan 2.
		Titan 2 is a two-stage liquid-fuel booster able to lift approximately 4,200 lbs.

	Titan I (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		It was the first in a series of Titan rockets, but was unique among them in that it used LOX and RP-1 as its fuels, while the later versions all used storable fuels instead.
		The Air Force's goal in launching the Titan program was twofold: one, to serve as a backup should Atlas fail; and two, to develop a large, two-stage missile with a longer range and bigger payload that also could serve as a booster for space flights.
		When the storable fueled Titan II and the solid fueled Minuteman I were deployed in 1963, the Titan I and Atlas missiles became obsolete.

	Space Today Online - Delta 4 and Atlas 5 space rockets
		This rocket had a larger fairing covering the satellite and a pair of Aerojet solid rocket boosters that allowed it to leave the pad at twice the speed of the previous Atlas 5.
		The maiden flight of the Ariane 5 ECA rocket was attempted in December 2002.
		The Titan family was established by the Air Force in 1955 with a contract to build a heavy-duty space system awarded to the former Martin Company, now Lockheed Martin.

	Titan 2
		The Titan II was by far the most powerful nuclear armed missile ever deployed by the United States, with a deployment level of 54 LGM-25C missiles between 1964 and the beginning of its retirement in 1984.
		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.
		The Titan 2 vehicles were not completely dismantled as was done with the Atlas E and Atlas F space boosters.

		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 Titan IV is a stretched Titan III with non-optional solid rocket boosters and a Centaur upper stage.
		The current owners of the Titan line (Lockheed-Martin) have decided to extend their Atlas family of rockets instead of the Titans, along with joint ventures to sell launches on the Proton and the new Delta IV class of medium and heavy-lift launch vheicles.

	Titan
		The Titan launch vehicle family was developed by the United States Air Force to meet its medium lift requirements in the 1960's.
		Titans have been used instead to launch unmanned military spacecraft, ranging from heavy photoreconnaisance platforms in low earth orbit to geosynchronous communications, missile launch detection, and ELINT satellites.
		The Titan C, a Titan II booster stage topped by a new liquid oxygen/hydrogen upper stage, was the launch vehicle selected in November 1959 for the DynaSoar orbital flight program.

		A high-energy rocket is greatly responsible for advancing the quest for knowledge and the revolution in global communications.
		In the 1970's, Centaur was combined with the Air Force Titan III booster to provide a capability to launch larger spacecraft.
		Although its name is not used in the commercial Atlas family of launch vehicles or the Titan IV, the Centaur continues to serve as America's most powerful upper stage.

		An attached booster rocket that is to drive the observatory into its final orbit is the same type as one that malfunctioned last month.
		Gale Schluter, executive vice president of Boeing's rocket systems division, said troubles with the new Delta III appeared to be birthing problems of a largely new design and not a breakdown in normal operations at the company.
		The calamities included the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger, resulting in the loss of its seven-member crew; the back-to-back failures of two Titan rockets and the destruction of a pair of military reconnaissance satellites; and an Atlas rocket being struck by lightning in flight, destroying a Navy satellite.
