Titan Missile Silo Expedition Gallery

I decided to re post the old pictures from the Titan Missile Base. Now everyone can check it out for years to come. Pulled over from the old Area51 site. This facility was near DeerTrail Colorado. I will post a video up of this expedition in time, once I get a few other things done. Enjoy.

The main Doors themselves for the silos occupy the space of a two car garage. It sticks approximately 3 or 4 feet out of the ground. The Doors themselves are at least 6 feet or more thick precast rebar re-enforced concrete. They can be opened normally in approximately 40 seconds – minute, the doors can also be blown off completely during an emergency launch.

The silo door itself that covers the launch tube. Note the missle exhaust tube(s) on the side. These are approximately 12 feet in diameter and go more than 150 feet straight down.

The main elevator shaft sits exactly between the two domes, the command center and power dome. and has two door covering the top of it as pictured below. This I imagine was how they got most of the equipment into the domes, which are just massive in size.

The round area is the hatch at the top of the lift shaft that lands between the power dome and command center. The rectangular part at about the 5 o'clock position is the man door. — The round area is the hatch at the top of the lift shaft that lands between the power dome and command center.

This is where someone else had excavated a portion of the ventilation system to actually gain access to the facility. The air duct leads you into the power dome where you can go down one level and connect with the rest of the missile base.
