The Titan rocket series is one of NASA's most well-known launch vehicles. It has been used to launch Gemini capsules,  probes, and military payloads. Some of the probes were the Viking spacecraft that traveled to Mars and the Voyager missions that visited  the outer planets. The photographs that were taken during these missions were great and expanded our knowledge of space.

The Titan rockets are built by Lockheed Martin Corporation. They are in a series from Titan I to Titan IV. Titan IIIE/Centaur gives you a good idea of the rocket's size and power. It is 160 feet tall and has 10.7 million newtons(2.4 million pounds) of thrust. The Titan rockets are a key U. S. launch vehicle.
