Export restricted (ITAR), sale only to U.S. citizens and organizations. Titan III Space Launch Vehicle Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), measuring approximately 23.5″ x 12″ x 12″ and weighing 78 pounds, with a Delco Electronics label on the side: "Inertial Measurement Unit, Designation MX-9974/DJW, Serial No. 0000054, Part No. 7559750-011, Stock No. 1420010246715AE, Contr No. F42600-76-C-0549." Below is a repair tag dated "7-2-85," indicating service under "Contr No. F42600-85-C-0060." The IMU remains in its heavy-duty black metal housing. The IMU provided position data to the onboard guidance computer, which was used to calculate the resulting guidance commands during the missile's flight. 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.
This Inertial Measurement Unit is part of a matching set with the Titan III guidance computer offered as Lot 6444; according to the consignor, the two units underwent their upgrades together.
