Titan IIID

Introducing the Titan IIID!

This is the first 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.

Meet the Titan IIID:
The Titan IIID is a heavy lift rocket designed to lift payloads primary spy satellites to LEO it was basically a Titan IIIC but without the Transtage module. It had a 100% success rate with 22 launches. It’s successor is the Titan 34D. This replica is made to the correct scale and used photos of actual launches and its performance is pretty close flight wise, it is actually less powerful compared to the real thing due to SR2 physics being different than reality.

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!
