Inside, the computer boasts two core memory modules and all gold-plated connectors. In fine condition, with slight wear and scuffs. This onboard computer accepted position data from the Inertial Measurement Unit and calculated the resulting guidance commands during the flight of the missile. NASA adopted the Titan II missile as the launch vehicle for its Gemini missions in the 1960s and later used the Titan III to launch its Voyager and Viking probes.
