The Sea Launch Commander and Odyssey Launch Platform have left port, and on there way to the launch site at 154 degrees west. I have been looking forward for a long time, to the Inmarsat-4 launch. It's my belief that it like milstar wil perform a main body flare, when the sun reaches 12 hours difference in R.A ie 180 degrees. So now to wait for it to be send on it's way and park at 54 degreees West longitude. Then I see it my crazy thought is correct. Picture of it's main body http://countdown.inmarsat.com/inside_I4/takeoff.aspx?top_level_id=1&sub_level_id=5&language=EN&textonly=False Perfect size and suface material for reflecting lots of sunlight.
