System for Space - Titan III (remastered USAF documentary)

Remastered USAF documentary about the Titan III launcher. Includes animations and test footage. Original faded color was correct as best as possible, along with film dust removal, conversion to the original 24 fps frame rate and geometry correction. Image / sound cleanup, original frame rate conversion and color restoration by Retro Space HD. ========================================= The Titan III was a modified Titan II with optional solid rocket boosters. It was developed on behalf of the United States Air Force as a heavy-lift satellite launcher to be used mainly to launch American military payloads and civilian intelligence agency satellites such as the Vela Hotel nuclear-test-ban monitoring satellites, observation and reconnaissance satellites (for intelligence-gathering), and various series of defense communications satellites. The Titan IIIA was a prototype rocket booster and consisted of a standard Titan II rocket with a Transtage upper stage. The Titan IIIB with its different versions (23B, 24B, 33B, and 34B) had the Titan III core booster with an Agena D upper stage. This combination was used to launch the KH-8 GAMBIT series of intelligence-gathering satellites. They were all launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, due south over the Pacific into polar orbits. Their maximum payload mass was about 7,500 lb (3,000 kg). The powerful Titan IIIC used a Titan III core rocket with two large strap-on solid-fuel boosters to increase its launch thrust and maximum payload mass. The solid-fuel boosters that were developed for the Titan IIIC represented a significant engineering advance over previous solid-fueled rockets, due to their large size and thrust, and their advanced thrust-vector control systems. It was planned to be used as a launcher for the Dyna-Soar, though the spaceplane was cancelled before it could fly. The majority of the launcher's payloads were DoD satellites, for military communications and early warning, though one flight (ATS-6) was performed by NASA. The Titan IIIC was launched exclusively from Cape Canaveral while its sibling, the Titan IIID, was launched only from Vandenberg AFB. ========================================= A special thanks to the channel supporters (   / retrospacehd   ): Asbjørn Bill Hurley Darcy Barrett Drew Granston Ellie Burack Francis Bernier Gary Smith Gio Pagliari Jan Strzelecki Jeff Pleimling Jules E Michael Pennington Nathan Koga Nathan Westwick Noah Soderquist Ryan Hardy Scott Manley ======================================== #titaniii #nasa #usaf
