Description |
English: The Titan booster is a two-stage liquid-fueled rocket, with twoadditional large, solid-propellant rockets attached. It is amember of the Titan family that was used in NASA's Geminiprogram. The Centaur is a liquid oxygen- liquid hydrogen, high-energy upper stage used on Surveyor flights to the Moon and on Mariner flights to Mars. At liftoff, the solid rockets provide9.61 million newtons (2.16 million pounds) of thrust. When the solids burn out, the first stage of the Titan booster ignites,and followed by the second-stage ignition as the first stage shuts down. The Centaur ignites on second stage shutdown toinject the spacecraft into orbit. Then after a 30-minute coastaround the Earth into position for re-start, the Centaurre-ignites to propel Viking on its Mars trajectory. Once thismaneuver is completed the spacecraft separates from the Centaur,which subsequently is deflected away from the flight path to prevent its impact on the surface of Mars. Shortly afterseparating from the Centaur, the orbiter portion of the combinedorbiter-lander spacecraft orients and stabilizes the spacecraftby using the Sun and a very bright star in the southern sky, Canopus, for celestial reference. For more information aboutTitan and Centaur, please see Chapters 4 and 8, respectively, inRoger Launius and Dennis Jenkins' book To Reach the HighFrontier published by The University Press of Kentucky in 2002.
