APPENDIX E - BOXES 317-342

MARTIN CORPORATION DOCUMENTS

RELATING TO THE TITAN LAUNCH VEHICLE

This subseries contains plans, progress reports, evaluations, specifications, and test reports prepared for NASA from 1962 through 1966 by the Martin Corporation, a division of Martin-Marietta Corporation, contractors for Gemini launch vehicles, associated aerospace ground equipment, and launch services.
 
The Martin Corporation began developing Titan II in June of 1960 as an intercontinental ballistic missile for the Air Force and as a manned booster in the Air Force Dyna-Soar program. Titan II had the simplicity and reliability Gemini needed. It was also more than twice as powerful as Atlas. But while its promise had been great, its flight record was at first poor. Finally, in late 1963, Titan II began to prove itself.
 
Many of these documents are bound. They are in folders and arranged by Martin Corporation number.
