Sea Launch AG has signed a launch services agreement with a proprietary customer to launch its spacecraft via the Sea Launch Zenit-3SL launch system, launching from the ocean-based Odyssey launch platform in 2016.

Sea Launch’s customer for this launch has expressed its desire to remain unnamed at the present time, consistent with its current business strategy. Sea Launch anticipates a future joint announcement with its customer when notified that the applicable business restraints have been lifted.

“This launch will continue to demonstrate the evolution of the Zenit-3SL launch system going forward. We offer our customers the reliability, flexibility and discretion required to best address their on-orbit business needs,” said Sergey Gugkaev, Chief Executive Officer of Sea Launch.
