Titan 3C consists of the common core with two 120-inch diameter, five-segment, solid rocket motors for its liftoff stage and the Transtage as its upper stage. Launched from the Cape Kennedy Air Force Station, 3C had a versatile multi-orbit, multi-payload capability due to the restartable Transtage. It was capable of launching payloads with a weight in excess of 28,000 pounds into low-earth orbit.
