U. S. Titan Is First
In New Series of
Missile Launchings
By JACK KING
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla, UP) —
The United States has launched
its second generation missile pro
gram with the debut of the power
ful Titan.
The new rocket, shaped like a
huge bullet, performed smoothly
on a 220-mile limited range flight
Friday after failing to fly on two
previous attempts. The Air Force
said the launching was highly
successful.
After its brief flight, the Titan
fell into the Atlantic.
The blastoff of the interconti
nental range ballistic missile sig
naled the start of an accelerated
drive to produce advanced missiles
. superior to the present weapons in
the U. S. arsenal.
Titan was developed as a follow
series to the present Atlas which
already has logged a 4Vi>-ton or
biting satellite and one triumph
over intercontinental range.
Some estimates place the Titan
range capability at 9,000 miles.
In comparison, the Atlas has a
range of 6,300 miles.
Still to come is the solid fuel
Minuteman ICBM and various
other so-called sophisticated mis
siles which the experts say will
help close the gap with the So
viets in the space race.
The Titan’s backblast shattered
several remote controlled tracing
cameras near the launching pad.
The gold-tinted rocket weighs
110 tons. The range was short and
the mission basic on this first test
flight. As soon as the missile left
the launcher, 90 per cent of the
test objectives were accomplished,
it was learned.
