The Titan IIIC was an expendable launch system used by the United States Air Force from 1965 until 1982. It was the first Titan booster to feature large solid rocket motors and was planned to be used as a launcher for the Dyna-Soar , though the spaceplane was cancelled before it could fly.

Titan 3C launch 22 Dec 1965. OV2-3, along with LES-3, LES-4, and OSCAR 4, was launched on the third Titan IIIC test flight [6] on 22 December 1965 at 14:00:01 UT from Cape Canaveral LC41 [1] just one second behind schedule. From an initial parking orbit of 194 kilometres (121 mi), the Titan's Transtage boosted into a transfer orbit pending a ...

The Titan II and Titan III boosters could launch Dyna-Soar into Earth orbit, as could the Saturn C-1 (later renamed the Saturn I), and all were proposed with various upper-stage and booster combinations. In December 1961, the Titan IIIC was chosen, [27]: 19 ) but the vacillations over the launch system delayed the project and complicated planning.
OPS 0855 was the primary payload of Titan IIIC 3C-9, [3] [4] The Gemini B prototype capsule, known as Gemini SC-2, was flown on the same rocket, and was released onto a suborbital trajectory during launch.
