Sea Launch is a commercial satellite launch service that operates from a floating platform in the ocean. This unique approach allows rockets to be launched closer to the equator, which can enhance their efficiency and payload capacity. The company was founded in the 1990s and has conducted numerous successful launches using the Zenit rocket. The launch platform, known as the Ocean Odyssey, is stationed in the Pacific Ocean. This mobile setup enables flexibility in launch locations and minimizes the impact of weather conditions. Sea Launch primarily serves satellite operators looking to place their payloads into orbit.
