Minuteman and Titan II Missile ICBM HD HD

Minuteman missile and Titan II missile blast out of missile silos. These are land based ICBMs (Intercontinental ballistic missiles) designed to deliver nuclear warheads.Deep underground in the Titan II ICBM launch facility in Arizona. Photos: ...This rare film shows a series of missile launches and failures at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Among the ICBMs featured are the Atlas, Titan and Minuteman. Vandenberg is a Department of Defense space and missile testing base, with a mission of placing satellites into polar orbit from the West Coast, using expendable boosters. ICBM testing at Vandenberg commenced in 1958 with the IRBM Thor, and rapidly progressed. During the period 1958 to 1963, Thor, Atlas, Titan I, Titan II and Minuteman ballistic missiles were launched from Vandenberg. ICBM testing at the site effectively ended with the LGM-118 Peacekeeper, which last flew out of Vandy in July of 2004. This film is part of the Periscope Film LLC archive, one of the largest historic military, transportation, and aviation stock footage collections in the USA.

Titan II launch in South Atlantic, with camera on 2nd stage - makes film of stage separation above earth, The curvature of the earth is plainly visible. Through the magic of the camera earthlings take their first ride into space. Public domain film from the National Archives, slightly cropped to remove uneven edges, with the aspect ratio corrected, and mild video noise reduction applied. The soundtrack was also processed with volume normalization, noise reduction, clipping reduction, and/or equalization (the resulting sound, though not perfect, is far less noisy than the original). ... The Titan II was an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) and space launcher developed by the Glenn L. Martin Company from the earlier Titan I missile. Titan II was originally used as an ICBM. It was later used as a medium-lift space launch vehicle to carry payloads for the Air Force, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). These payloads include the USAF Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP), the NOAA weather satellites, and NASAs Gemini manned space capsules. The modified Titan II SLVs (Space Launch Vehicles) were launched from Vandenberg AFB, California up until 2003. Titan II missile The Titan II ICBM was the successor to the Titan I, and carried a payload twice as heavy. It also used storable propellants, which reduced the time to launch and permitted it to be launched from its silo. Titan II carried the largest single warhead of any American ICBM...
