As part of the project, they designed an entirely new rocket series known as the Space Launch System, or SLS ( not to be confused with current SLS plans ), which combined a number of solid-fuel boosters with either the Titan missile or a new custom booster stage to address a wide variety of launch weights.

These weapons, combined with the formidable magical powers of the planeswalkers themselves, made each and every Titan engine a force to be reckoned with.

* 1993: Acquires GE Aerospace for 3 billion USD, allowing combined marketing of complementary systems, e. g. Martin Marietta's Titan missiles launching GE Aerospace's satellites.

* Cassini ( launched 1997 ), a combined NASA / ESA ( European Space Agency ) mission to Saturn and its moon Titan,

Other teams within the Air Force were also developing the Space Launch System concept, which combined the same Titan II with a number of solid fuel rockets as a " zeroth stage ".

Instead, the solid-fuel boosters of the SLS were combined with the existing Titan II and Centaur to produce the Titan III, which was the workhorse of the DoD's space launch needs for decades.

During a simulation, the laser successfully destroyed a Titan missile booster in 1985, however the test setup had the booster shell pressurized and under considerable compression loads.

In 2008 the Titan laser aimed at a 1-millimeter-thick gold target was used to generate positron – electron pairs in large numbers.

In Hellenistic times, especially during the 3rd century BCE, as Apollo Helios he became identified among Greeks with Helios, Titan god of the sun, and his sister Artemis similarly equated with Selene, Titan goddess of the moon.

All Mariner-based probes after Mariner 10 used the Titan IIIE, Titan IV unmanned rockets or the Space Shuttle with a solid-fueled Inertial Upper Stage and multiple planetary flybys.

At the beginning of the series two prototypes of this class, the ' Manus ' heavy weapons and ' Corus ' combat support models, had been designed with the capability to combine with a robotic assistant, named Octus, to form the titular ' Sym-Bionic Titan '.

In Greek mythology, Nereus ( Νηρεύς ) was the eldest son of Pontus ( the Sea ) and Gaia ( the Earth ), a Titan who with Doris fathered the Nereids, with whom Nereus lived in the Aegean Sea.

Schriever followed up his quick development of the two missile systems with the development of the Titan II and Minuteman missile systems shortly thereafter.

Older B-52B, B-52C, B-52E and B-52F aircraft were retired, along with the B-58A, leaving SAC with an offensive force of several hundred B-52D, B-52G, B-52H and FB-111A strike aircraft, augmented by 1, 054 Titan II, Minuteman II and Minuteman III ICBMs.

The missiles of the day were all required to be loaded with their fuels prior to launch ( they all used nonstorable propellants ); and they could only be launched from above ground ( after long pre-launch checkouts ) launch pads, making them vulnerable to attack-the first ICBMs, Atlas 1 and Titan 1 were of this type.

The first stage of the Titan II had the mass ratio required for single-stage-to-orbit capability with a small payload.

The station was the same diameter as a Titan II upper stage, and would be launched with the crew riding atop in a modified Gemini capsule with a hatch cut into the heat shield on the bottom of the capsule.
