About this work
The first Titan_Centaur lifted off from Complex 41 at Cape Kennedy Air Force Station at 9:48 a.m. EDT today. The Titan stages burned as programmed, but when the Centaur stage failed to ignite, it was destroyed by the Range Safety Officer. The new NASA rocket was launched on a proof flight designed to prepare it for twin Viking launches to Mars in 1975 and other missions involving heavy unmanned payloads.
