The
Titan II is built by Lockheed Martin Astronautics, with launch
services provided by the United States Air Force.
The Titan II space
launch vehicle is a two-stage liquid fueled booster, designed to
provide a small-to-medium weight class capability. It is able to
lift approximately 1,900 kg (4,200 lbm) into a polar low-Earth circular orbit.
Lockheed Martin built more than 140 Titan II ICBMs. Titan IIs were
also flown in NASA's Gemini manned space program in the mid-1960s.
Deactivation of the Titan II ICBM system began in July 1982 and
was completed in June 1987. Deactivated missiles are in storage at
Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona. Lockheed Martin
was awarded a contract in January of 1986 to refurbish, integrate,
and launch 14 Titan II ICBMs for government space launch
requirements.
