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 powerful Titan IIIC used a Titan III core rocket with two large strap-on solid-fuel boosters to increase its launch thrust and maximum payload mass. The solid-fuel boosters that were developed for the Titan IIIC represented a significant engineering advance over previous solid-fueled rockets, due to their large size and thrust, and their ...

A Titan IV rocket with the Cassini–Huygens payload at LC-40 in 1997. Originally designated Launch Complex 40, SLC-40 hosted its inaugural launch for the United States Air Force in June 1965, a Titan IIIC rocket equipped with two transtage upper stages for testing purposes.
Lift-off of the Titan IIIC rocket carrying OV2-1 and LCS-2 satellites. In its original conception, OV2-1 was to have been launched via Titan 3A rocket to an apogee of 2,400 nmi (4,400 km) and a perigee of 100 nmi (190 km). [4] OV2-1 ultimately was scheduled for launch on the second Titan IIIC test flight [5] on 8 October 1965. However, tests at ...
OV2-5, along with OV5-2, OV5-4, and LES 6, was successfully launched via Titan IIIC from Cape Canaveral LC41 at 07:37:01 UTC [2] and ultimately delivered to an altitude of 22,000 mi (35,000 km) [8] making it the first ever scientific geosynchronous satellite. Though seven of the 12 experiment appendages failed to deploy, most of the satellite's ...
