The
Titan IV is built by Lockheed Martin Astronautics, with launch
services provided by the United States Air Force. The Titan IV can
be launched with no upper stage (NUS) for LEO satellites, or with
a Centaur or Inertial Upper Stage (IUS) to deliver satellites
directly to GEO.
In 1985, the U.S. Air Force
initially selected the Martin Marietta Astronautics division (now
Lockheed Martin), Denver, to build and launch 10 Titan 4s. In 1986 the contract was
increased to 23 vehicles, and, in November
1989, the contract was extended to 41.
Titan IV has
been used exclusively to launch U.S. government satellite
missions.
