MegaStructures - Sea Launch

Seizoen: 2005 - Aflevering: 9 / 29 - Eerst uitgezonden: 03 augustus 2005 - Episode ID: 176418

A satellite delivered by a rocket that is launched from the earth’s equator instead of any other place, can have its lifespan extended for as much as 3 years. This would mean huge savings for the companies that own these satellites. Thus the Sea Launch was constructed. The Sea Launch is made up of 2 megastructures, a floating launch pad called the Odyssey and a shipping vessel called the Commander. The episode gives a brief history of the construction, the successes and the failures of the Sea Launch.
