With the completion of all mission preparations, the Odyssey Launch Platform is ready for transit to the launch site on the Equator. |
|
Final baskets of supplies are lifted up to the launch deck as passengers board the vessel. |
|
The crew reels in the lines... |
|
... and she eases away from the pier, as the team's flags fly and recorded music blasts from the public address system. |
|
Well wishers stream to the end of the pier to bid farewell to the platform and the team onboard. |
|
The Odyssey slowly sails past the Payload Processing Facility, and out of the harbor.
