Titan IIIE-Centaur

Introducing the Titan IIIE-Centaur!

The remake of one of my favorite rockets is complete now in 1:1 scale and visually much better I am so happy with how this turned out and I hope you all like it too!

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 IIIE-Centaur:
In the late 60s and early 70s NASA was facing budget cuts while needing a new more powerful launch vehicle. NASA began looking into using per existing Titan III rockets with NASA’s high energy centaur upper stage. It had its first flight in 1974 and flew 7 missions with one failure. It carried many notable payloads including the Voyager Probes, the Viking Probes, and Helios Probes

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 11000-12000kg 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!
