Titan 3C booster touted as more powerful than Soviet rockets
Air Force officials at a Pentagon briefing say the Titan 3C booster planned for June 17 from Cape Kennedy delivers more than two million pounds of thrust, five times Gemini’s lift, with rapid launch capability and a 30 day ready state. Soviet boosters are believed to be smaller but likely growing, per Brig. Gen. Joseph S. Bleymaier. The Titan 3 can be preloaded and fired within seconds of a set time. The launch will use a new transporter unit that moves boosters on railway tracks to the launch site.
