titan IV Rocket Launch

[SR71U2ube]

Titans kicked ass,why couldnt there be a Titan V?

[lolvks]

@SR71U2ube It was WAY too expensive, over a BILLION dollars per launch, about the cost of 1 B-2 Stealth Bomber.

[matske2102]

sounds like the shuttle boosters!!!

[martinez198503]

Please give me the direction to where u are at I would love to be at this spot when I go to see the delta 2 launch on June unless u know of a better spot my email is martinez198503@yahoo.com

[BufOnSurfceHardNside]

sounds like its literally riping through the atmosphere

[NEEQOS]

@BufOnSurfceHardNside Exhaust gasses breaking the sound barrier.

[itsaidhi]

I miss seeing the Titans go off at Cape Canaveral. I'm guessing this is Vandenburg?

[rockfilmers]

@itsaidhi yeah, I'm about 60 miles south and they where amazing. Almost as big as a shuttle launch

[Addicted2Muzic94]

@rockfilmers Shuttle launches are AWESOME! I live on Indian River, in Titusville, so every time I want to watch a launch (you know, before it was shut down) all I had to do was walk out side my house. The streets were always WAAY crowded! I loved looking at all of the different licence plates. It's AMAZING how far people would travel to see it! I have a lot of pride in my home town! It's small, not much to it, but it's the home of the Shuttle launch! YAAAY FLORIDA!!!!!

[rockfilmers]

@Addicted2Muzic94 nice, I tried going up to Titusville to watch a launch once, but it was way too crowded. I found a different spot where no one ever goes too ;)

[Addicted2Muzic94]

@rockfilmers Well that is also nice. Getting to watch it without all of the screaming people! ;D HAHA! Although, it's kinda entertaining! The people are NUTS! One time, this guy next to me started going "OH, I know what happens next! Now the shaking is going to start!"... The shuttle had only JUST started to go up! I almost started laughing because he got disappointed and said "wait, where is the shaking?" A moment later came the rumble and he screamed, "THERE IT IS! THERE IT IS!" I love people

[nenblom1]

Love that sound!

[kcirrelyt]

I'm with all the "crackle hounds" in the comments section. As a kid, I grew up in the neighborhood of Vandenburg AFB; always enjoyed hearing them take off!

[kingspunkbubble]

thanks for getting the first stage separation. My favourite part.

[remyworldpeace]

GREAT VID

[marklfarkl]

At 1:45 she really starts to crackle. Great vid!

[fiddleup]

Yup, I dunno weather it's a "man thing" but, weather it's a shuttle, a saturn 5 or this type of beast, that low frequency "crackle" gets me every time.....makes my hairs stand on end!!

[NPSurvival]

Yeah I live for that sound!

[BigKwell]

Too bad the Space Shuttle couldn't use the Vandenburg Launch Complex. They had a pad ready for it (for launching into polar orbits). Now that pad is being used for the Delta VI booster.

[MrBennetzen]

It was ready but the Challenger accident messed it up.

[updougdown]

Listen to that thing burn. Nice as it rips up.

[seth917]

What is the destination of the rocket?

[RJY4356]

Pyongyang, North Korea!!! haha we wish.

[blackprophetmmii]

I believe if this was the last Titan, it was taking an Onyx Satellite into space.

[DAWEED2214]

nice vid

[DanBell47]

AWESOME Launch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shack11]

Hilarious, you are a DUMBASS.

The rockets are SUPPOSED to fly like that. Want to know what happens if they attempt to head straight up? They blow up.

[HilariousD]

Actually I build rockets and mine work way better than this one. Well at least they fly straighter. Interesting how you're trying to tell ME that this rocket is supposed to fly in a huge arch and then sideways instead of straight up.

[blablubb12345]

Ok i was right, you really don't have a clue. Guess what? All rockets do that, at least if they want to achieve an orbit.

[elgranto7]

its not going straigh up into space????????

the earth is curved, its launched like that for a reason in a attempt to get it into perfect orbit.

Somehow i think its a little bit more advanced then your Kno3 sugar rockets.

[boolykbol]

why does the aluminum(metallic element) gives

its flame white color?

[elgranto7]

Its to do with electron energy levels, can't be bothered to explain haha

[EndeavourLaunch]

I guess intellgence isn't your strong point.

[HilariousD]

Lmao. Even in 2005 these dumbasses can't get their rockets to work. NASA was developed as a continuation of the NAZI party, hence the similarity of these two organization's names. No way these shit rockets could have gotten out to the moon let alone back again.

[blablubb12345]

There was NO launch mishap in 2005, at least not in the USA. So what is your point, moron?

[HilariousD]

Watch the video tard clearly this rocket is not functioning properly....

[blablubb12345]

Is IS functioning properly. You don't have a clue about spaceflight, do you?

[OAKRAIDAS]

LMAO What a dumbass

[proaudiohd]

better sound than most youtube vids. Nice job =)

[earthmagekl7]

wow it sounds like a giant fart

[Spyplane2008]

Is that the actual noise it makes?

[ugowar]

Yeah, but most microphones can't quite capture the loudness and dynamic level of rocket launches.

[BowHunt1229]

what the hell did we shoot this thing t in 2004?

[Spyplane2008]

2005 actually if you watched the video

[GeneralWrath]

arguably...

[trezza181]

i salute whoever invented the rocket!

[adfgfds]

The Chinese

[admiralnomad]

Yeah, they were the first to pack gunpowder into a tube. But guys like Goddard and Von Braun made the rocket into something awesome.

[Christopher7569]

cool sound

[Veltster]

i love how long it took the sound to get to the camera they must have been miles away and still clearly visible

[JWI01]

Was this video shot from the viewing area?

[r0ck3tsm0k3]

About 4 miles based on speed of sound.

[Eqvaliser]

good "catch!"

[ayumix99]

あっと驚くタメゴロウ～

[Connecticut2009]

That sondido rocket but I love the toxic fuel rocket is why it was withdrawn from service in the launch there was an explosion of propulsion approximately 10.000 5000 miles per hour

[r0ck3tsm0k3]

what are you talking about.

[artwleb]

Very nice video. None of the Titan 4 were converted; they were built using the Titan II design and modified to carry

solids and large shrouds. There were 14 Titan II converted to space launchers known as Titan 23G which was essentially a Titan II with a satellite instead of a reentry vehicle (warhead). They are all flown except for one at the

Evergreen Museum in Oregon now on display. The Titan 4

started off as Titan 3 in June 1965 and was upgraded during the next 40 years.

[Connecticut2009]

Good sound have!!!!!!!! sorry for my english

im from argentina

[Connecticut2009]

FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND KM IN MAX ENERGY IN Deorbit Burn

[Connecticut2009]

Very beautiful but that the last Titan rocket that I thought had more rockets but it was the last model rocket in the history of NASA

ROCKETS TO FOLLOW IN THE BUILDING NASA

NASA LET YOU CAN

THIS SPEED ROCKET IS 10000 km per hour ROCKET IS USED BY THE FAST FOR NASA PROGRAM FOR THE MARINER

[mcsew2k]

Very few of these were used for NASA missions. The Titan IV were all owned by the U. S. Air Force and mostly used to launch military and intelligence spacecraft.

[blablubb12345]

Correct, Cassini-Huygens was the only non military launch of the Titan IV. Titan III was used more often by NASA (Helios 1+2, Voyager 1+2, Viking 1+2)

[mcsew2k]

The exploding sounds are reverberating echos from the mountains in the area. You need to be there to really appreciate this.

[diderlesepup]

W O W !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[seefuHOTSAUCE]

Is the smoke from the rocket polluting the atmosphere? Or will it just turn into clouds? Nice video.

[daltonagre]

In fact, in every launch, water is sent to the rocket.Without its use, teh sound became so terrible, that it would broke the rocket.

[geocam2]

The Titan used hypergolic fuel, and its exhaust is acidic and toxic. The cost and danger of this fuel was the main reason the Titan family of rockets was retired. The Delta burns hydrogen and oxygen, producing only steam.

[sftail1990]

Facts in order would be good. The Delta 2 uses the same fuel in its second stage. The Atlas and Shuttle were using hydrogen and oxygen far before the Delta, as for the Delta 4H. As soon as you can put one on target, then call it a success, it has still yet to fly to where it was supposed to go, the first test flight was 10,000 miles low on orbit due to early engine shutdown commands.

[ApolloWasReal]

I don't think hypergols are all that nasty unless they blow up and disperse unreacted N2O4. Normally you get mainly N2 and H2O, plus CO2 for the organic hydrazines (UDMH, MMH).

Solids are probably worse: very large amounts of Al2O3 (alumina smoke) plus plenty of HCl from the ammonium perchlorate.

[DMarc85]

god bless america

[daltonagre]

Not among the best rocket launch.

[Rocketmechanic]

Should have seen it in person. Your opinion would change.

[TomHarrisNRSP]

Very nice video! How does the thrust of a Titan IV compare with a Delta 4 Heavy launch vehicle (which is 1.9 million pounds). The reason I ask is I will be in Florida for the next Delta 4 heavy launch in the middle of the night on Aug 28

Tom

[CapeCanaveral321]

Titan IV was 3.4 million pounds at liftoff. Delta 4/4H is much slower, so they are both impressive. You are likely to be at the eight mile mark in Port Canaveral, and even from there D4H is pretty impressive. Whether it sticks to August 28 is another question!

[unwatchable]

"Hey, I'm goin' to Wal-Mart today.."

Who said that?

[madvideogamer]

FLYING PEN!!!

[blancc95]

you sound like george bush jr. ha ha!

[emu112]

Thanks

[newenglandvideo]

Great Video. Thanks for posting.

[chikenfight]

lol, did it blow up?

[Postie1]

no, it's arcing away from the camera.

[GeoffreyfromParis]

Good but I prefer the french rocket: Ariane V

[mcsew2k]

Ariane V is more ellegant.

[lethalman3000]

awesome video its awesome the sound ive got and with sub woofer shakes my floor lol .thank you

[beafman1]

and too think if you ever look out your window and watch 3-6 of these flying over your house, you know the world is ending in 30 minuts...

[PrinzEugn]

This isn't an ICBM, it's based off of one

[Incuby]

Who is doing the drums? XD :D

[killerjozef]

thats some crazy stuff. the flame coming out is huge !

[Michaelj2001]

NICE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[mdmcgrory]

Never got to see the raw power of a Titan IV. Biggest regret next to never seeing a Saturn V. I'd love to see a Delta IV Heavy. With no SRB's probably lifts off pretty slow and loud, huh? Anyone ever see one of those in person?

[nightfrog65]

Unfortunately was out of town on business when this launch occured-I heard that the ground shaking could be felt for a large radius around the pad

[73caddydaddy93]

Great Footage! I'm glad to finally get a chance to see the launch. I was at VAFB on TDY around that time, but it ended shortly before they launched. I was bummed.

[blue5375]

To get lift off to booster separation from one camera angle takes luck, judgement AND great camera work - nice one! On the smoke trail, most orbital launches pitch towards the east after climbing straight up, so if you observe from the west it'll move away from you behind the smoke trail.

[ced5999]

superb !

[camel2659]

eh ye the year is 192005???

[mcsew2k]

October 19, 2005

[whohahohohey]

Nice stuff... I'm impressed that you were able to get Rumsfeld to narrate!

[VandenbergAFBdude]

You called it a TitanIV missile but missiles carry

warheads I believe this had a payload so it should be called by its correct name TitanIV Rocket. Wouldn't want to get all the hippies and tree huggers wound up

about nukes from Vandenberg.

[44R0Ndin]

try "launcher"

[mcsew2k]

It is a missle that has been converted into a launcher.

[IWExcelsiorE]

NICE!

[Womera62]

It's a pity that they have stopped flying the Titan IV. What a launch, great sound too!

[SpinBoldak]

Sound takes time to get from the rocket to the camera/mic viewing point. Same as lightning and thunder.

[funkmasterjee]

He shot it from a bad angle.. ...the smoke trail gets in the way ...otherwise a good video

[dwoclan]

it wasent at a bad angle cause u would have to be at a high place 4 the smoke trail not to get into the way

[mcsew2k]

I agree it was a bad angle. just a little more to the left would have been better.

[lorislol]

beautiful launch!!!

[kycruisecrazy]

i want to be that close for the space shuttle

[zomgpewpewoomkin]

I want one!

[macktheknifeTOO]

Nice camera work.  You kept the camera on the subject long enough so we could see what was going on, instead of jumping here and there like most do.

[CapeCanaveral321]

Great video though!

[CapeCanaveral321]

More appropriately, this is a space launch vehicle not a missile. Missiles deliver warheads (or test dummies) on ballistic trajectories like the minuteman and peacekeeper they also launch from there. But the Titan IV was used for launching satellites into orbit.

[mcsew2k]

It is a missle that has been converted into a space launcher.
