TITAN IIIC
In 1967, the USAF introduced the Titan IIIC as its primary heavy weight booster vehicle. Basically, it was a Titan IIIA (as a central core) plus two five-segment strap-on solid propellant boosters attached to the sides of the first stage. It was derived from the liquid fuel Titan II ICBM and the solid fuel Minuteman I ICBM. It was initially used to launch Vela nuclear surveillance satellites and the Initial Defense Communications Satellite Program (IDCSP) spacecraft into orbit.
