INMARSAT-4
Mission Overview
Sea Launch has successfully completed the Inmarsat-4 mission. A Sea Launch Zenit-3SL rocket lifted off from the Odyssey Launch Platform at 6:07 am PST (14:07 GMT) on November 8, 2005. All phases of the flight profile performed as expected. The mission ended with spacecraft separation from the Block DM upper stage, placing the Inmarsat-4 communications satellite into a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit. A ground station in British Columbia, Canada, acquired the spacecraft signal. All systems are operating nominally.
