The Odyssey travels about 10-12 kts, while the Sea Launch Commander can do about 20 kts (depending on sailing conditions in transit). So we give the Odyssey a head start. Here, the vessels meet at sea and proceed with various interactive schedules, as they head for the launch site. Our photographer captures the beautiful scene from the Sea Launch helicopter.
