Titan IV was a family of heavy-lift space launch vehicles developed by Martin Marietta and operated by the United States Air Force from 1989 to 2005. [4] Launches were conducted from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida [5] and Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.
The Titan V was a proposed development of the Titan IV, that saw several designs being suggested. One Titan V proposal was for an enlarged Titan IV, capable of lifting up to 90,000 pounds (41,000 kg) of payload. [39] Another used a cryogenic first stage with LOX/LH2 propellants; [40] however the Atlas V EELV was selected for production instead.

However, on 22 March 1991, HQ USAF reversed itself again by announcing the termination of the Titan IV/Centaur program at SLC-6. [21] The reasons given for the project being canceled was due to "insufficient Titan IV launch requirements from the West Coast to support the construction of a new launch pad."
