Builder: Lockheed-Martin Astronautics; Power Plant: Stage 0 consisted of two solid-rocket motors. Stage 1 used an LR87-AJ-11 liquid-propellant rocket engine. Stage 2 used the LR91-AJ-11 liquid-propellant engine. Optional upper stages included the Centaur and Inertial Upper Stage. Guidance System: A ring laser gyro guidance system manufactured ...
The HGM-25A Titan I, built by the Martin Company, was the first version of the Titan family of rockets. It began as a backup ICBM project in case the SM-65 Atlas was delayed. It was a two-stage rocket operational from early 1962 to mid-1965 whose LR-87 booster engine was powered by RP-1 (kerosene) and liquid oxygen (LOX).
The Solid Rocket Motor Upgrade (SRMU) was a solid rocket motor that was used as a booster on the Titan IVB launch vehicle. Developed by Hercules (later ATK ), it was intended to be a high-performance, low-cost upgrade to the UA1207 boosters previously used on Titan IV.

The LR91 was an American liquid-propellant rocket engine, which was used on the second stages of Titan intercontinental ballistic missiles and launch vehicles.While the original version - the LR91-3 - ran on RP-1/LOX (as did the companion LR87-3) on the Titan I, the models that propelled the Titan II and later were switched to Aerozine 50/N 2 O 4.

A Titan IIIE-Centaur rocket (Centaur D-1T stage) launches Voyager 2. The Centaur D-1T (powered by RL10A-3-3 engines) was an improved version for use on the far more powerful Titan III booster in the 1970s, [47] with the first launch of the resulting Titan IIIE in 1974. The Titan IIIE more than tripled the payload capacity of Atlas-Centaur, and ...
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 ...
