Default Last Titan Centaur

Tonight's (9/8/03) planned Titan 401B-36 launch is the
last Titan Centaur. According to:

"http://www.pw.utc.com/unique/html/releases/090303.html"

the launch of the TC-20 Centaur stage will be the 22nd
of its type. The first of these machines, which powered
Viking, Voyager, Helios, Cassini, and Milstar, among
others, flew in 1974. Powering TC-20 will be the last
two Pratt & Whitney RL 10A-3 liquid hydrogen/oxygen
engines. Eighteen of the first 21 Titan Centaur missions
were successful.
