Payload Rollout

September 8 - The Sea Launch team rolls out the Payload Unit, containing the Galaxy XIII/Horizons-1 satellite, from the Payload Processing Facility at Home Port, to the Sea Launch Commander, where it is mated with the Zenit-3SL rocket in a large assembly hall.

As the Payload Unit is rolled down the short road to the ship, an onlooker, positioned at the top of the Odyssey Launch Platform, observes the event.
