What is Sea Launch?

Sea Launch is an international company that provides spacecraft launch services. It uses a mobile offshore launch platform to launch commercial payloads in the equatorial waters with a specially improved Zenith-3SL launch vehicle. As of September 2008, the company's 29 launches have failed twice, and one time with only partial success.

The sea-based launch system allows the rocket to ignite at the optimal position on the earth's surface. Compared with the land-based launch system, it can significantly increase the payload and reduce the launch cost. At present, all commercial payloads launched by maritime launch companies are communication satellites that are to enter geosynchronous transfer orbit.

Before launching by the sea launch company, the launcher and arrow body (including the payload) were assembled on the Sea Launch Commander at the Port of Long Beach, California, and transferred to the self-propelled "Odyssey" launch platform (Ocean) Odyssey) and then with the assembly command ship serving as the command center, sailed to the waters near the Pacific equator at 0 ° N 154 ° W / 0 ° N 154 ° W / 0; -154 for launch.

The Maritime Launch Company was established in 1995.

Four companies from the United States, Norway, Ukraine, and Russia jointly funded the launch of a maritime launch company.

"Land-Launched" System Utilization

Sea-based equatorial launch platforms have several advantages over traditional land launches:

The Earth's rotation reaches its maximum rotation speed on the equator, where the launch can get additional launch speed increments. The orbital plane change required for zero inclination of the geostationary orbit is eliminated, and the carrying capacity has been significantly improved.
