The SICRAL 1B spacecraft arrives from Italy at the Ontario Airport, near Los Angeles, and is then delivered to Sea Launch Home Port on a flat-bed truck. The truck passes by the Sea Launch Commander, docked at the pier, and pulls up to the Payload Processing Facility. A crane lifts the spacecraft off the truck and brings it into the facility for testing, fueling and, later, encapsulation in a payload fairing.
