Sea Launch Prepares for the Launch of Intelsat-19[/size]

Published: Sunday, May. 20, 2012 - 3:44 am

BERN, Switzerland, May 20, 2012 -- /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- The Sea Launch vessels have departed Sea Launch Home Port in Long Beach, California for the equator, in preparation for the launch of the Intelsat-19 satellite owned by Intelsat.  Liftoff is planned for 22:23 Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) on Thursday, May 31st (05:23 UTC/GMT, Friday, June 1), at the opening of a 120-minute launch window.

Upon their arrival at the launch site later this month, at 154 degrees West Longitude, the Sea Launch team will initiate a 72-hour countdown. After ballasting the Launch Platform Odyssey to launch depth, the team will roll out and erect a Zenit-3SL rocket on the launch pad, execute final tests and then proceed with fueling operations and launch. Prior to fueling, all personnel on the Launch Platform will transfer to the Sea Launch Commander for the duration of the mission. The team monitors both marine and launch operations remotely from the ship, positioned about four miles uprange of the platform.

 On launch day, the Zenit-3SL vehicle will lift the 5,600 kilograms (12,345 lbs.) Intelsat-19 spacecraft into a defined high-perigee geosynchronous transfer orbit.  Based on the Space System/ Loral's 1300E high-power platform, Intelsat-19 will provide service to high-growth markets around the Pacific rim, including Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and US west coast, from its orbital location of 166 degrees East longitude.

Платформа Odyssey прибыла в район пуска.

В прошлый запуск корабль чуть отошел от берега и исчез с карты http://www.vesseltracker.com у меня на компьютере. Так и не смог увидеть точку пуска. Это только мне надо руки мыть перед поиском или так у всех?

Sea Launch Begins Countdown for Intelsat-19 Launch

BERN, Switzerland, May 29, 2012 –The Sea Launch and Energia Logistics teams have initiated the automated L-72 hour launch countdown sequence at its equatorial launch site on May 28th, in preparation for the launch of the Intelsat-19 communications satellite.  Liftoff is planned at the opening of a 120-minute window, beginning at 22:23 Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) on Thursday, May 31st (05:23 UTC/GMT, Friday, June 1st).

Launch operations are now underway at the Equator, at 154 degrees West longitude. The Sea Launch Commander is positioned alongside the Launch Platform Odyssey, with the two vessels periodically connected by a link bridge that facilitates foot traffic between the vessels. A day before liftoff, the Zenit-3SL rocket will be erected on the launch pad for final tests of the launch system and spacecraft, prior to start of the terminal countdown.

During final preparations for liftoff, the platform will be evacuated, with all personnel positioned on the ship, three miles up range from the platform. At launch, the rocket will lift the 5,600 kilograms (12,345 lbs.) spacecraft to geosynchronous transfer orbit, on its way to a final orbital location.

Intelsat 19 will be located at 166° East longitude as part of Intelsat's on-going fleet investment program.  It replaces Intelsat 8, a leading video neighborhood providing distribution to cable head ends across the Asia-Pacific region and reaching more than 37 million pay-tv subscribers around the Pacific Rim.

Sea Launch will carry live coverage of this mission for Intelsat via satellite and also streaming video on the Sea Launch website, beginning 15 minutes before scheduled launch. The webcast may be viewed at: http://www.sea-launch.com/current_index_webcast.html
