T-00:00.0	Stage 1 ignition
The first stage LR87 liquid propellant engine ignites and comes up to proper thrust.
T+00:03.2	Liftoff
The Titan 2 rocket begins its journey to orbit with the NOAA-M weather satellite from Space Launch Complex-4 West at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.
T+02:34	Stage 1 shutdown
The first stage engine shuts down via command by the rocket's guidance system based upon computer logic.
T+02:35	Start stage 2
The LR91 liquid propellant second stage engine is ignited and the first stage is separated as the Titan 2 rocket continues its ascent. The first stage falls into the Pacific Ocean.
T+03:41	Jettison fairing
The payload fairing that protected the NOAA-M spacecraft during atmospheric ascent is separated once heating conditions are acceptable.
T+05:32	Stage 2 shutdown
The Titan 2 rocket's second stage shuts down by guidance command, completed the powered phase of flight for the former Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. The stage is then prepared to release the NOAA-M satellite.
T+06:34	Payload separation
The NOAA-M polar-orbiting weather spacecraft is deployed from the Titan 2 rocket's second stage.
T+14:43	Kick motor ignition
The apogee kick motor attached to the bottom of NOAA-M is ignited to inject the satellite into a stable orbit around Earth.
T+15:34	Kick motor burnout
The ATK Tactical Systems-built Star 37XFP solid rocket motor completes its firing and will remain attached to the satellite. NOAA-M will operate in a circular orbit around Earth's poles at an altitude of around 470 nautical miles and inclined 98.7 degrees to the equator.
