XM-4 A Sea Launch Mission

 Back in another life, I was a Satellite Chucker. We were basically a delivery service, getting your payload from 154*W, 0*N to a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit. Our Senior Photo-Optics Specialist was a very creative photographer and videographer, and would put together a mission DVD for the launch crew as a souvenir. This one was made for the XM-4 mission, and was posted on YouTube courtesy of one of my Sea Launch friends.

Enjoy the show!

    1. Yep. Best ten years of my career! Superb people to work with, and they backed up us guys "on the line" 100%.

    1. I never thought I'd be doing that when I was a kid watching Shepard, Grissom, and Glenn fly.
