Sea Launch Company rocket carrying a commercial communications satellite blew up during launch from an oceangoing platform in the equatorial Pacific, the Associated Press reported Wednesday.

The Boeing-built NSS-8 satellite was intended for Netherlands-based SES New Skies.

“There was an explosion as we were lifting off,” Sea Launch spokeswoman Paula Korn said yesterday from the company’s home port in Long Beach, California.

The platform is cleared of all personnel during launches, which are conducted remotely by a mission control team aboard a ship, the Sea Launch Commander, stationed several miles away.

Korn did not know the condition of the self-propelled platform Odyssey, a converted oil platform.

The blast occurred at the scheduled 3:22 p.m. PST (0452 IST) launch time. It was not known if the Zenit-3SL rocket actually lifted off the platform.

A Webcast of the launch was halted and replaced with the message — “Anomaly on NSS-8 mission. Broadcast concluded.”

A failure review oversight board will be formed to determine what happened, Korn said.

NSS-8 was to have been used for audio, video, data and Internet services for countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent and Asia. SES New Skies has five other satellite in orbit and another under construction.

Based in the Port of Long Beach, Sea Launch is owned by Boeing, RSC-Energia of Moscow, Kvaerner ASA of Oslo, Norway, and SDO Yuzhnoye/PO Yuzhmash of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine.

Gledao sam na TVu o nečemu sličnom.
Odvuku tu platformu na okean, na mesto gde će raketa potrošiti najmanje goriva i lansiraju je.

i ja sam gledao o tome na nacionalnoj geografiji super stvar
