Launched from Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 40 on 2 November 1966 at 13:50:42 UTC via Titan IIIC along with a simulated Manned Orbiting Laboratory, a boilerplate Gemini B, and the communications test satellites OV4-1T and OV4-1R, [2] OV1-6 was released after the Titan's Transtage had fired twice to reach the planned 300 km (190 mi) orbit.
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.
