Zachstar - 22/8/2006 5:29 AM100% for over 330 seps for saab thats QUITE impressive!
Chris Bergin - 21/8/2006 11:31 PMQuoteZachstar - 22/8/2006 5:29 AM100% for over 330 seps for saab thats QUITE impressive!But their promo was rubbish "Remember, when you hear spacecraft seperation, followed by applause, and cheering, it means it's another Saab seperation success."They need the KT guys.
Zachstar - 21/8/2006 11:40 PMMan these guys must be making some SERIOUS profit. I mean look at how fast they prepare and launch major communication sats. I read that their schedule was completely full for this year and most of next. I can really see why with this kind of smooth operation.

I read that their schedule was completely full for this year and most of next. I can really see why with this kind of smooth operation.I don't know about profits, but it is worth noting that Launch Platform Odyssey has matched Baikonur's famed world's-busiest Area 1 Pad 5 so far this year with four launches. The platform, all by itself, has performed as many launches so far this year as all of the pads at Cape Canaveral. It is tied with Vandenberg AFB (along with Canaveral) as the world's second busiest launch range so far this year. - Ed Kyle

The "range' is the area in the south Pacific and TDRSS
yinzer - 23/8/2006 2:21 PMIt's also worth noting that Sea Launch, like pretty much everyone else out there, is operating at about 20% of capacity. The Sea Launch Commander can carry three Zenits at once, and transfer them to the Odyssey at sea.
sbt - 5/9/2006 2:59 PMI had started to conclude that once I had spotted that they didn't use a strongback or cradle for the lift.Any reason why they use the ship for vehicle prep then? Wouldn't it be better to do it ashore or does 'sheltered waters' include places, closer to the launch point, other than the home port?Should this discussion move to a more general Sea Launch thread?Rick
