Following testing, fueling and encapsulation of the Galaxy 19 satellite, the payload assembly unit is rolled out of the Payload Processing Facility onto a special transporter. An air-conditioning unit at the forward end keeps the spacecraft (inside the fairing) at its proper temperature and pressure. The transporter then rolls down the road, toward the Sea Launch Commander, where the unit is brought onto the stern ramp and into the rocket assembly area.
