The Odyssey floating rocket-launch complex has been towed out to sea, according to Interfax-Ukraine. Today the platform is 10-12 miles from Vyborg, close to Igrivy Island. From there it will be towed to Norway for refueling. After this the complex will continue on to Long Beach, California, where equipment produced by Boeing will be installed and the first flight test will also be made. After the tests Odyssey will go to the equator in the Pacific Ocean, where it will launch commercial connection satellites within the framework of the Sea Launch project.
