The Titan 23G, Titan II (23)G, Titan 2 (23)G or Titan II SLV was an American medium-lift launch vehicle derived from the LGM-25C Titan II intercontinental ballistic missile.

Titan II was originally designed and used as an ICBM, but was later adapted as a medium-lift space launch vehicle (these adaptations were designated Titan II GLV and Titan 23G) to carry payloads to Earth orbit for the United States Air Force (USAF), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric ...

The two-stage Titan II launch vehicle, serial 23G-13, put NOAA-L into a suborbital -2500 x 800 km x 98.0 deg trajectory. The spacecraft's Thiokol Star 37XFP solid motor fired at apogee to circularize the sun-synchronous orbit at 800 km.

Titan 23G rockets consisted of two stages burning liquid propellant. The first stage was powered by one Aerojet LR87 engine with two combustion chambers and nozzles, and the second stage was propelled by an LR91.

Dec 11, 2024 · Titan 23G space launch vehicles were refurbished decommissioned Titan 2 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). The two-stage liquid fueled storable propellant launchers were able to lift about 1.9 metric tons (tonnes) into polar low-Earth orbit from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

The Titan 23G, Titan II (23)G, Titan 2 (23)G or Titan II SLV was an American expendable launch system derived from the LGM-25C Titan II intercontinental ballistic missile.

Oct 19, 2005 · In the late 1980's, the remaining Titan II ICBMs were taken off alert and decommissioned. Fourteen of the missiles were refurbished for use as space launchers. The refurbished rockets were given the designation Titan II (23)G, or Titan 23G.

Some of the launchers used parts of several missiles. These refurbished missiles are sometimes referred to as Titan 2, Titan 2G, Titan 23G or Titan 2 (23)G whilst some of the launches carried an additional propulsion stage to place the satellite into a higher orbit.
