Zenit-3SL is a three-stage carrier rocket developed for and used by the Sea Launch consortium.
It combines:
• two-stage Zenit-2S built by Ukraine's SDO Yuzhnoye/PO Yuzhmash
• Block DM-SL upper stage, provided by Russia's Energia
• nose-cone enclosure for protection of payload during launch, provided by Boeing.
Rockets used by Sea Launch are assembled in Long Beach, California. Launches occur from the Ocean Odyssey offshore launch platform, situated at the equator. Ocean Odyssey is also used to transport rockets to the launch site. The most recent launch of a Zenit-3SL occurred on 11 December 2015. The RD-171 engine of the Zenit-3SL first stage, and most of the control system of -3SL missiles were made in Russia. However, according to the same source, it is not clear if Russia's component suppliers are still working together with Yuzhmash as of this date.
