context_page_description: The Martin Marietta SM-68A/HGM-25A Titan I was the United States' first multistage intercontinental ballistic missile, in use from 1959 until 1962. Though the SM-68A was operational for only three years, it spawned numerous follow-on models that were a part of the US arsenal and space launch capability. The Titan I was unique among the Titan models in that it used liquid oxygen and RP-1 as propellants. All subsequent versions used storable propellants instead.
  Originally designed as a backup in case the Air Force's SM-65 Atlas missile development ran into problems, the Titan was ultimately beaten into service by Atlas. Deployment went ahead anyway to more rapidly increase the number of missiles on alert and because the Titan's missile silo basing was more survivable than Atlas.
  The LGM-25C Titan II would serve in the US nuclear deterrent until 1987 and had increased capacity and range in addition to the different propellants.
