The rocket rolls out of its protective hangar on the Odyssey Launch Platform and the team prepares to erect it on the launch pad.

And then the action begins...

The rocket stands tall in the Port of Long Beach for about 24 hours.

After a series of final tests, the Zenit-3SL is de-erected, rolled back into the hangar and prepared for transit to the launch site.
