A family of US space rockets, developed from the Titan intercontinental missile. Two-stage Titan rockets launched the Gemini project crewed missions. More powerful Titans, with additional stages and strap-on boosters, such as the Titan–Centaur, were used to launch spy satellites and space probes, including the Viking and Voyager probes, Mars Observer, and Cassini.
The Titan rocket that put Gemini 12 astronauts James Lovell and Buzz Aldrin into orbit on 11 November 1966. Among their tasks was docking with the Agena target vehicle launched an hour previously.
