Rocket Rollout and Erection on launch pad for the final testsThe rocket is rolled out of the hangar on the Launch Platform in preparation for erecting it on the launch pad for final tests, before departing for the launch site. Here, Viktor Yernolenko, Yuzhmash engineer, stands by the transporter-erector, awaiting the next event in the process. (Note the red stars on the erector, commemorating each of the Sea Launch missions.)
The rocket begins its movement upward, to a vertical position.
A spin on the Sea Launch helicopter offers a bird's eye view of the rocket-raising event.
