The segments for the Zenit-3SL launch system begin their journey in Dnepropetrovsk and Moscow and are transported by rail to the Port of Oktyabrsk, Ukraine, on the Black Sea. After being loaded onto the Condock, a roll-on/roll-off vessel, the shipment arrives 35 days later at the pier. |

The Sea Launch Logistics team unloads the cargo and stores it in a warehouse at Home Port. The rocket team will draw from this inventory to assemble a 3-stage vehicle for each of our upcoming missions. The Zenit-3SL includes the Zenit-2S booster and a Block DM-SL upper stage. |

After unloading the new rocket stages, the team then loads the Condock with crates of support materials and equipment, for return to Dnepropetrovsk and Moscow.
