Titan IV: Successful Launch From Cape Canaveral

36th Mission for Nation's Most-Powerful Booster

A Lockheed Martin-built Titan IV B rocket lifted off Tuesday morning at 12:29AM EDT, carrying a at least one classified spy satellite for the U.S. Air Force and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). The NRO is the U.S. government agency responsible for reconnaissance satellites. The launch was from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (FL).

The early morning launch marked a significant milestone for the Titan program with the final flight of the Centaur upper stage to be used with Titan IV.

This was the 36th Titan IV launch overall. Eleven Titan IVs have been launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base (CA), and 25 from CCAFS.

Titan IV, the nation's largest and most powerful expendable launch vehicle, is capable of boosting payloads weighing 38,800 pounds into low-Earth polar orbit, 47,800 pounds into low-Earth equatorial orbit, or more than 12,700 pounds into geosynchronous orbit.
