The link bridge is a telescopic arm that reaches out from the starboard side of the Sea Launch Commander to the port side of the Odyssey Launch Platform, to allow for personnel to move from one vessel to the other. The vessels are lined up using laser technology as well as Dynamic Positioning to maintain the position of each vessel.
