The Odyssey Launch Platform arrived at the launch site at 22:40 on 20-September 2011. The Sea Launch Commander ACS moved to relative launch support position for Payload Unit and Spacecraft testing. The Launch Platform has begun ballasting operations and L-2 day operations have begun. Sea Launch is now working towards a revised Launch Date of 24 September.

Have always loved Sea Launch. I can't wait for this return.

We're told not to expect the same webcast deal as previously (change of ownership etc), but so long as we get a webcast! None of that Sea Launch jazz, however.

Thanks Dave. That's a reasonably strict notice on their webcast. I better e-mail Sea Launch PAO about using screenshots.

I can be here to cover if nobody else is lined up.  Did you get a response for use of screenshots?

Offline Chris Bergin

Great, thanks Steven. Screenshots are cool.

Doesn't look like issues are being worked, and Sea Launch has noted on their website that conditions are favorable at the launch site for today's return to flight.

After the first Block DM burn, we'll be in a 43 minute coast phase, before burning again.  Approximately 1 hour after the first Block DM burn, we'll have spacecraft sep.
