September 23/24 - Larry Hutchinson, RF (radio frequency) Technician on the Sea Launch Commander, and Tom Sharp, helicopter pilot, go for a rebound during a basketball game in the ship's rocket assembly area. It's a favorite gathering place for basketball, table tennis and other activities, made all the more challenging by the swells of the sea. |

Chris Templeton, helicopter pilot, catches up on reading before helicopter operations begin at the launch site. |

Doreen Schneider, lead Export Compliance administrator for Sea Launch, enjoys a walk around the ship. Those who make an effort to stay in shape (while indulging in the great Sea Launch cuisine!) also make use of the facilities in the fitness center and the stairways between decks. |

Among the many Sea Launch traditions that continue to evolve over time is the artwork that commemorates each mission. Here, painted by a crewman on the exterior walls of the helicopter hangar on the Sea Launch Commander, is a record of launches and mission logos. With space getting limited on the hangar, the artist plans to continue on other ship surfaces. |
