"Titan 3-C: it can launch eight satellites at a time--or a huge bomb."
Striking 1963 Martin Company/Martin Marietta artist's (C. Bennett) concept of a Titan III-C at the moment of solid rocket motor/booster separation.
Official Martin Company/Martin Marietta Corporation caption:
"SOLID MOTORS JETTISONED--When the USAF TITAN III reaches the proper altitude, the solid rocket motors burn out and are jettisoned. This drawing illustrates how the spent solid cases will be pushed away from the core vehicle. The core will be manufactured by Martin Company, a division of the Martin Marietta Corp., at its space and missile system plant southwest of Denver, Colorado."
