127. Titan II (Bold Guy), 21 Sep 65, Response Mode 4, Flight Phase 2: After a normal
     first-stage flight, the second stage was shut down immediately after start by an
     erroneous guidance command.
128. IIIC (65-212), 15 Oct 65, Response Mode NA, Flight Phase 4 and 5: Normal
     mission through transtage second ignition and bum. One chamber of transtage
     engine failed to shutdown completely, resulting in a pitch-up deviation, loss of
     control, vehicle tumbling, and an unplanned orbit.
131. Titan II (Cross Fire), 30 Nov 65, Response Mode 5, Flight Phase 2: Trouble
     apparently began between 208 and 214 seconds when the rate and track beacons
     were lost. The radar tracked till about 360 - 380 seconds, indicating a ballistic-
     type trajectory veering to the right. Loss of control was due to a fuel leak at the
     crossover manifold.
134. IIIC (66-001), 21 Dec 65, Vehicle 8, Response Mode NA, Flight Phase 5: Nominal
     mission through transtage second burn shutdown. Attitude control system engine
     failed to shutdown following vernier bum with resulting fuel depletion and loss
     of attitude control.
135. Titan II (Sea Rover), 22 Dec 65, Response Mode 4T, Flight Phase 2: Flight was
     apparently normal until some point well into second-stage bum. Track then
     indicated erratic movement left of nominal, then right of nominal, but with little
     downrange movement of the IP. Automatic fuel cutoff was sent at 396 seconds.
     Failure resulted from improper rigging of sustainer actuator that exceeded
     control-system capability.
142. Titan II (Silver Bullet), 24 May 66, Response Mode 4, Flight Phase 2.5: Flight was
     normal except that R/V did not separate, causing a 20-mile uprange miss.
148. IIIC (66-005), 26 Aug 66, Vehicle 12, Response Mode 4T, Flight Phase 0: Payload
     fairing failed during Stage-0 powered flight. The failure at 79 seconds resulted in
     violent maneuvering and self destruct (ISDS).
159. Titan II (Glamour Girl), 12 Apr 67, Response Mode 4T, Flight Phase 2: First-stage
     flight was normal. About 15 seconds after second-stage ignition, failure of the
     yaw-rate gyro resulted in violent roll and pitch maneuvers. Missile impacted
     about 660 miles downrange.
160. IIIB/ Agena D (Busy Tailor), 26 Apr 67, Response Mode 4, Flight Phase 2: Flight
     appeared normal through first-stage cutoff and separation. About 15 seconds into
     the second stage, a fuel-line blockage resulted in a drop in chamber pressure that
     reduced the thrust to about half its normal level. As a result, the velocitv     J

     eventually stopped increasing. The IP moved slightly farther downrange and
     remained on azimuth until loss of signal at 300 seconds. Impact was about 600
     miles downrange.
