Repair Job Underway at Victoria Shipyard
June 15, 2007
The Times Colonist reported that repairs started at Victoria Shipyards on a platform used to propel commercial satellites into orbit.
The Odyssey Launch Platform is undergoing repairs after a failed mission damaged the vessel in January after 20 consecutive successful launches. The platform, which is 436.6 ft. long or almost one and a half football fields in length, is owned by Sea Launch, an international partnership of four American, Russian, Ukrainian and Norwegian businesses, including Boeing.
