Launcher Pacifica

Launcher Pacifica is a former oil drilling rig that has been converted into a mobile launch platform by Vega Aerospace for orbital launch services. It has been in operation since the early 1990s. It is located approximately 5 miles (8 km) due north of Pacifica Island and approximately 24 miles (38.6 km) east of OPHELIA particle accelerator.
Launcher Pacifica is a self-propelled semi-submersible mobile spaceflight launch platform converted from a mobile oil drilling platform in the 2010s. The vessel is currently used for equatorial Pacific Ocean launches. Not to be confused with Pacifica, the sea-faring floating city founded in the 2030s.
== Brief History ==
After the increasing violent weather activity on the US East Coast, America's space program tried to find an alternative to launching from land. The Gulf Coast of the US was abandoned due to increasing hurricanes and tornadic activity.
