Most of the Titan rockets were the Titan II ICBM and their civilian derivatives for NASA.The Titan II used the LR-87-5 engine, a modified version of the LR-87, that used a hypergolic propellant combination of nitrogen tetroxide (NTO) for its oxidizer and Aerozine 50 (a 50/50 mix of hydrazine and unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) instead of the liquid oxygen and RP-1 propellant of the Titan I.
Thrust vectoring for many liquid rockets is achieved by gimbaling the whole engine. This involves moving the entire combustion chamber and outer engine bell as on the Titan II's twin first-stage motors, or even the entire engine assembly including the related fuel and oxidizer pumps. The Saturn V and the Space Shuttle used gimbaled engines. [5]
Launch of a Titan 34D with two UA1206 boosters. UA120 was a family of American solid rocket boosters, manufactured by the Chemical Systems Division of United Aircraft (later United Technologies Corporation). [1] They were used as strap-on boosters for the Titan rocket family. [2] Several variants existed, with a varying number of segments.

An engine bell burn-through left only a narrow margin for success. 4 September 05:54 Titan 34D/Transtage: 5D-7 34D-2 CCAFS LC-40: HEO: Success USA-43 USA-44 Final flight of Titan 34D; final use of the Transtage upper stage 6 September 01:49 Titan II(23)G: 23G-2 B-99 B-75 VAFB SLC-4W: LEO: Success USA-45
All launch vehicle propulsion systems employed to date have been chemical rockets falling into one of three main categories: Solid-propellant rockets or solid-fuel rockets have a motor that uses solid propellants, typically a mix of powdered fuel and oxidizer held together by a polymer binder and molded into the shape of a hollow cylinder. The ...

The Titan 23G, Titan II(23)G, Titan 2(23)G or Titan II SLV was an American medium-lift launch vehicle derived from the LGM-25C Titan II intercontinental ballistic missile. Retired Titan II missiles were converted by Martin Marietta , into which the Glenn L. Martin Company , which built the original Titan II, had merged.
The LR87 was an American liquid-propellant rocket engine used on the first stages of Titan intercontinental ballistic missiles and launch vehicles. [1] Composed of twin motors with separate combustion chambers and turbopump machinery, [2] it is considered a single unit and was never flown as a single combustion chamber engine or designed for this.
