Technical Facilities, Titan III – Complex 40 and 41

Completed in 1965 by American Bridge, the Technical Facilities, Titan III – Complex 40 and 41 project consisted of constructing launch complexes as part of a $39 million Integrate-Transfer-Launch (ITL) facility at Cape Canaveral to support TITAN IIIC space missions. Complex 40 supported its first launch on June 18, 1965, and Complex 41 on December 21, 1965. Over three decades, both complexes supported TITAN IIIC, TITAN 34D, and TITAN IV launches. Complex 41 also launched NASA’s VIKING missions in 1975 and VOYAGER missions in 1977. It was upgraded in 1986-88 for TITAN IV under a $57 million refurbishment. Complex 40 was rebuilt from 1990-1993 under a $425 million project and launched its first TITAN IV/CENTAUR on February 7, 1994. By October 1998, the complexes supported 72 missions.
