Titan 7 T-D6 LE aka “Launch Edition” is the result of years of extensive testing and design work. Although the 6 spoke design is very simple, the T-D6 Launch Edition is packed with technical features that take our “Forged for All” ideology to the next level. A full face design was chosen to give the wheel an excellent base for strength and rigidity. Next, we took the popular “I–Beam” spoke construction beyond the competition by connecting the machining work from the hub, spoke, and rim. This is

“101% successful!” When the Apollo 7 crew splashed down exactly fifty years ago today, their engineering test flight not only passed with flying colors—it also accomplished many firsts, including the first 3-person American spaceflight, the first live TV downlink from an American spacecraft, the first Saturn rocket to launch a crew into space, and the first time hot food was available to a crew in space! This milestone eventually paved the way for the future of lunar exploration and is one of ma
