Titus was derived from the initial two stages of the Bérénice test vehicle.[4][6]
The first stage, weighing 1935 kg, used a SEPR-739-2 Stromboli solid rocket motor with 1245 kg of Plastolane propellant with a 20-second burn time.[1][4][5][6] The second stage, weighing 1110 kg, utilized a SEPR-740-3 Stromboli motor with 738 kg of Plastolane propellant with a 20-second combustion duration.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Stabilization involved four SEPR-P167 stabilization rockets with adjustable nozzles around the first stage, while the second stage had four fixed tailplanes.[1][2] Accuracy was within a few degrees, necessary for a precise trajectory vital for the experiments. A launch at 85 degrees with a 381 kg tip, after wind correction, resulted in a distortion of 2.5 km for the first stage and 1.5 km for the second stage. The rocket's control was managed by system named "Pascal".[1][2][3][6]
