The Boeing-built Galaxy IIIC satellite will be shipped next week to Sea Launch's home port in Long Beach, Calif. The Boeing 702 model spacecraft will undergo final preparations for its planned late May launch from the Odyssey Launch Platform, which will be stationed in the Pacific Ocean for lift-off. Galaxy IIIC is the third satellite built and delivered by Boeing Space and Communications to PanAmSat. The satellite will provide Internet, television, voice and data services to areas of the United States and Latin America.From
