Titan II (Eng. Tytan II) Gemini Launch Vehicle (English abbreviation: GLV) is an American carrier rocket, which was developed for the needs of manned space flights under the Gemini program. Her first successful start was in April 1964 and the last one in November 1966. There were 12 rocket launches during these years, all of which were successful. The length of the rocket was approximately 33 meters with a diameter of 3.05 meters. The mass of the rocket, including the Gemini, was approximately 154 tons. The Tytan II carrier rocket was a modernization of the ballistic missile SM-68B Titan II , commissioned in 1963. The main modernizations and changes included the use in the carrier rocket, among others, of a fault-finding installation, a backup flight control system or the introduction of a radio control system. All changes were made for NASA by the rocket manufacturer - Aerojet. The rocket consisted of two sections, the first of which was about 21 meters long, and the second - about 12 meters.
