The design and performance capabilities of the Titan 34D launch vehicle are reviewed, noting that it is proven launch system that is capable of complementing the Shuttle in terms of having an available, large payload-capacity launch system for domestic satellites. The Titan's development began in the 1950s as an ICBM, and the Titan III configuration was first flown in 1966, followed by 121 operational launches with a 99 percent success rate. The current configuration features a fairing large enough to hold a 150 in. diam payload. Satellites up to 12,500 lb can be launched into GEO, 27,600 lb into polar orbits, and 34,100 lb into LEO. The Titan 34D is reconfigurable and can carry payloads that would otherwise be handled by the Shuttle.
