Preparations for transferring the fully integrated rocket from the Sea Launch Commander to the Odyssey Launch Platform go forward as a translator supports review of the procedure for Dr. Valery Aliev, manager of the rocket segment (left), and Jim Mills, mission director (center). |

The rocket rolls out onto the ship's stern ramp and yellow brackets hanging from cables are attached to the second stage and the base of the first stage |

The transfer team leaves the ramp and the crane operation begins, lifting the rocket 200 feet, to the level of the hangar on the launch deck.
