An overview is presented of the origin and development of U.S. heavy-lift vehicles with particular focus on the Titan group of launchers. The Titan I ICBM first flew in 1959, to be followed by the growth II and III launchers to the present operational Titan IV. The most powerful unmanned rocket ever constructed in the West, Titan IV utilizes the same guidance system as Titan II space launch vehicles and Titan III series and comprises a liquid propellant two-stage core plus two solid propellant motors. Titan IV has the same capability to LEO as the Shuttle, 50,000 lb with the three-segment solid rocket motor upgrade. With inertial upper stage it can place 5100 lb in geosynchronous orbit. Consideration is given to the various launch complexes that are capable of handling Titan IV launches.
