    Notes
    Exact Gemini Launch Vehicle alternative on the Titan II family record: two YLR-87-AJ-7 first-stage engines and one YLR-91-AJ-7 second-stage engine. The separately represented Titan 23G branch remains intentionally unmodeled here because this packet does not establish its exact installation variant.
