Space Systems/Loral delivers the Galaxy 19 satellite to Sea Launch Home Port. It travels from the manufacturing facility in Palo Alto, California, in a specially designed container on a flat-bed truck. Michael Polak, customer support logistics specialist, directs the driver to the Payload Processing Facility. Here, the spacecraft is tested, fueled and encapsulated in a payload fairing, in preparation for mating with a Zenit-3SL rocket.
