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.
Retired: Titan IIIC, Titan IIIE, Titan IV Space Launch Complex 41 ( SLC-41 ), previously Launch Complex 41 ( LC-41 ), is an active launch site at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] As of 2024, the site is used by United Launch Alliance (ULA) for Atlas V and Vulcan Centaur launches.
The Inertial Upper Stage (IUS), originally designated the Interim Upper Stage, was a two-stage, solid-fueled space launch system developed by Boeing for the United States Air Force beginning in 1976 [4] for raising payloads from low Earth orbit to higher orbits or interplanetary trajectories following launch aboard a Titan 34D or Titan IV rocket as its upper stage, or from the payload bay of ...
The complex was then refurbished to accommodate the Martin Marietta Titan 34D.Seven Titan 34Ds were launched between 20 June 1983, and 6 November 1988. [8] SLC-4E hosted one of the most dramatic launch accidents in US history when a Titan 34D-9 carrying a KH-9 photoreconnaissance satellite exploded a few hundred feet above the pad on 18 April 1986.
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.
