Martin Marietta is making available a commercial version of the Titan launch vehicle. At a total payload weight capability of 31,600 pounds to low earth orbit, the commercial Titan provides Shuttle and Ariane compatible services to the commercial satellite community. This paper describes the commercial Titan which is based on the U.S. Air Force Titan 34D. A large diameter payload fairing and extension module provide for single or dual payload installation. Structural and some equipment rearrangement modifications have been made to the Stage II forward skirt to handle the larger payload fairing and loads involved in commercial operation. Stage II has been stretched and the liquid rocket engines enhanced to improve lift performance. The solid rocket motors and avionics remain unchanged. Plans to utilize Transtage on top a Titan III for direct injection into geosynchronous transfer orbit are being studied for future launches.
