The second-to-last Titan 4 was launched from Cape Canaveral, FL, April 29, carrying a national security payload for the National Reconnaissance Office into orbit. This was the final launch of a Titan 4 from Cape Canaveral.

“With our customers, we share a tremendous pride in this successful flight, tempered only by our sense of sadness as the proud history of Titan here at Cape Canaveral comes to a close for our team,” said G. Thomas Marsh, executive vice president of Lockheed Martin Space Systems Co. “It is always impressive to hear the roar of a Titan 4 as it streaks into space, but this rocket got help in getting off the ground by the hard work, prayers and wishes of thousands of employees and retirees whose dedication to mission success is unparalleled.”

The last Titan 4 will be launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., later this summer.
