Titan IV No Upper Stage (NUS)

Titan IV/NUS (403) system utilizes the basic Titan IV core vehicle, appropriate skirts, PLF, SRMs/SRMUs, associated facilities and GSE for the purpose of placing a Spacecraft into low earth orbit missions from VAFB Space Launch Complex SLC-4E. To the maximum extent practical, the Titan IV/NUS system shall use Titan IV subsystems and assemblies to the same design and fabrication as those used in the Titan IV/Centaur system (401).

Titan IV/NUS (405) system utilizes the basic Titan IV Core vehicle , appropriate skirts, PLF, SRMs/SRMUs, associated facilities and GSE for the purpose of placing a Spacecraft into low earth orbit missions from CCAFS, LC-41. To the maximum extent practical, the Titan IV/NUS system shall use Titan IV subsystems and assemblies to the same design and fabrication as those used in the Titan IV/Centaur system (401).

STRUCTURAL: The Structural System consists of the basic Titan IV Centaur Booster vehicle with a spacecraft interface. The interface is a tension joint that attaches the SV NUS 403 GFP or SV NUS 405 adapter to the Titan IV 2490 forward skirt extension.

ELECTRICAL: The Electrical System consists of the basic Titan IV booster vehicle arrangement with provisions for SV peculiar interfaces.
