The
Titan II
was an
intercontinental ballistic missile
(ICBM) and space launcher developed by the
Glenn L. Martin Company

launch vehicle
to carry payloads for the
United States Air Force

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA). Those payloads included the USAF
Defense Meteorological Satellite Program
(DMSP), the NOAA weather satellites, and NASA's

Vandenberg Air Force Base
, California up until 2003.
