Titan IV

Titan IV was a powerful American launch vehicle used mainly from the 1980s until 2005 to send satellites and spacecraft into space. It was built to carry large or advanced payloads, including military satellites and interplanetary missions. The rocket consisted of multiple stages that would fire sequentially, providing the necessary speed and height to escape Earth's atmosphere. Titan IV was known for its reliability and ability to handle heavy payloads, but it was eventually retired as newer, more efficient launch systems replaced it. It played a key role in defense and space exploration during its operational years.
