Launch or test range

SEA LAUNCH

Recorded as: SEA LAUNCH

The name suggests a launch or test range; seahazards has not verified who this issuer is. What follows is what the messages recorded under this name show.

Launch and test ranges announce the sea areas that may be dangerous during a rocket launch, a missile test or the recovery of spent stages: where parts may fall, and in which time windows. Their warnings are among the most precisely defined in the archive — polygons with start and end times that cancel themselves when the last window closes.
