History
BaskLau Sea Launch Company, LLC, or BaskLau, was formed in 2159 by Strelkan Emigré Mellon Husk.
Husk, a recent Strelkan expatriate, sought to create a reputable rocketry company that could provide light to medium rocket launch services anywhere on Kerbin. After being shot down by investors in Strelka, Husk approached multiple conglomerates and international government organizations, settling on the nascent Fortisian Space Agency, who were interested in his proposed "SeaLaunch" Self-Propelled Maritime Rocket Launch Platform. With a number of government grants and with assistance from CCSC, Husk's BaskLau, LLC was formed. After only a year, the first sea platform, BaskLau SeaLaunch Platform "Hook" number 0-1 launched from its slip at West Hook Island, and completed sea trials. The first launch from the "Hook" 0-1 was conducted on July 9th, 2162, successfully launching a Redoubt Energy Systems "Transit" rocket with an OB-1A "Scooper" Reconnaissance Satellite meant for the Fortisian military.
