context_page_description: The Titan Missile Museum, also known as Air Force Facility Missile Site 8 or as Titan II ICBM Site 571-7, is a former ICBM missile site located at 1580 West Duval Mine Road, Sahuarita, Arizona in the United States. It is located about 40 km south of Tucson on I-19. It is now a museum run by the nonprofit Arizona Aerospace Foundation and includes an inert Titan II intercontinental ballistic missile in the silo, as well as the original launch facilities.
  It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1994. It is the only surviving Titan II complex to survive from the late Cold War period.
context_section_description: A visitor center for the site features a gift shop, a small museum and guided tours of the site.  The museum is intended to put the Titan II within the context of the Cold War.  Paid tours are available for hire, offering education about the history of the Titan II site and program, as well as a closer look at many features of the complex.  Relics include hardstands for fuel storage containers and the associated control vehicles, restored engines from a Titan II missile, and a re-entry vehicle.
  Tours below ground may include the control room, the cableways (tunnels), the silo, antenna tower and more. More information can be found and reservations may be made via the museum web site.  Several times each month a more extensive "top to bottom" tour is available.  This tour takes up to 5 hours and accommodates a maximum of six people.  Prior reservations required.  The top-to-bottom tour is not handicapped accessible.
  Several scenes in the 1996 film Star Trek: First Contact were shot at the site. The missile itself was depicted as the launch vehicle for the film's Phoenix spacecraft, the first warp prototype.
