This past Tuesday, in the middle of the equatorial Pacific Ocean, a 209-foot Zenit-3SL unmanned rocket sat on a floating platform awaiting launch. On board that rocket was an NSS 8, a 96-transponder satellite. Sea Launch streamed a live Webcast of its launching of a 209-foot satellite-carrying rocket from an unmanned floating platform.
