Talk:Titan (rocket family)

message: The current owners of the Titan line (Lockheed-Martin) decided to extend their Atlas family of rockets instead of the more expensive Titans, along with joint ventures to sell launches on the Proton and the new Delta IV class of medium and heavy-lift launch vehicles.
: But Delta IV prodused by Boeing. Lockheed-Martin produsing Atlas rockets. Is that a mistake? TestPilot 00:52, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

message: does someone have infor to include on the Titan accident.
A maintenance guy droped a wrench down the silo, this burst the fuel tank and threw the war head miles away causing an emergency search to recover the warhead.

thread_title:  Accident 

message: I've read in a couple places that Titan III was considered for use as a heavy fractional orbital bombardment system, as in the following quote: "TheTitan 3A was basically a Titan II with an upper stage, but all subsequent launchers have stemmed from theTitan 3B configuration, which added a pair of large strap-on solid boosters. This was also seen as apotential weapons system, especially for FOBS and other special payloads, but development of aweaponized version did not go ahead." This is from a document found online titled "U.S. Nuclear Missiles: History and Guide to Resources." Has anyone seen anything similar, with verifiable sourcing? It might make a good addition to this page. Sacxpert (talk) 07:22, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Weaponized version of Titan III

message: For Titan III, it says, “Their maximum payload mass was about 7,500 lb (3,000 kg).” This is inconsistent. 7,500 lb is about 3400 kg, while 3000 kg is about 6600 lb.--Solomonfromfinland (talk) 06:03, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

message: The Titan 3M was about to be built when MOL was canceled. NASA considered using it as a vehicle for an enlarged Big Gemini 120 for space rescue. The The 3M would have had a quicker response time compared to the Saturn IB. "Extremes of estimated time interval to reach an emergency site in a low earth orbit are 4 hr. minimum and 144 hr. maximum.Views on Space Flight Emergencies Marked by Diversity, Aviation Week & Space Technology, May 8, 1967 page 75 Another scheme was to use it to boost refurbished Apollo Command Modules for space rescue.Apollo Command Module Reuse Proposed, Aviation Week & Space Technology, April 7, 1969 pages 73-78 NASA estimated Titan 3M would be cheaper, $15-16 million vs Saturn IB at $28 million.Recent NASA cost analysis made for Congress shows the price of the Titan 3M at $15-16 million, Aviation Week & Space Technology, April 24, 1967 page23 The 7 section solid strap on was tested.

It stood for "Metalized." The new fuel required modifications to the YRL87-11 which are detailed in the "Stage I Engine Demonstration Testing" report.
This would make the LR87 unique in being the only Large Liquid Propellent Engine to have been fired with four different Oxidizer/Fuel combinations. Anyone have more information on the "almost flew" Titan 3M (or IIIM)?
*Aviation Week always called the SLV "Titan 3M," the only references to a "Titan IIIM" were official documents dealing with the development of the propulsion system.

message: When I see the overview of Titan development, should the last one not be the IV-B rather than the III-B?
