On June 18, 1965, Titan III-C inserted 293,000 lb into precise 100-nautical mi circular orbit; launch system concept was envisioned which would accomplish all categories of military missions at economical operational costs and without costly redevelopment associated with mission customizing; design trajectories ranged from direct injection in low earth orbit to escape to deep space; all-encompassing requirement was "launch anytime" capability; history of Titan III, various development phases, representative design challenges and their solutions are presented; comparison is made of original requirements with flight performance results.
