Titan 34D

Introducing the Titan 34D

This is the third of four Titan’s to be released in the next few days

Meet the Titans:
(Wikipedia) Titan was a family of United States expendable rockets used between 1959 and 2005. The Titan I and Titan II were part of the US Air Force's intercontinental ballistic missile fleet until 1987. The space launch vehicle versions contributed the majority of the 368 Titan launches, including all the Project Gemini crewed flights of the mid-1960s. Titan vehicles were also used to lift US military payloads as well as civilian agency reconnaissance satellites and to send interplanetary scientific probes throughout the Solar System.

The Titan 34D was an uprated IIID used by the USAF to launch different payloads to space the Titan 34D had larger solid rocket boosters an improved first stage and the ability to mount several types of third stages. There where three failures on the first several flights caused by poor quality inspections especially in the SRB cases.

Flight Notes:
Ignite the core stage when the SRB’s hit around 15% fuel
You can start the turn on just the SRB’s just don’t pitch too hard
It can carry its designed weight of roughly 14,000kg to LEO
Make sure to turn on the stearing lock quickly because It can tip over before launch

Stay tuned for several more Titans coming soon!
