Petroleum products vary greatly in physical appearance: thin, thick, transparent or opaque, but
regardless, their chemical composition is made up of only two elements: carbon and hydrogen, which

form compounds called hydrocarbons. Other chemical elements found in union with the
hydrocarbons are few and are classified as impurities. Trace elements are also found, but in such
minute quantities that they are disregarded. The combination of carbon and hydrogen forms many
thousands of compounds which are possible because of the various positions and joinings of these
two atoms in the hydrocarbon molecule.

There is an advantage to launching satellites from the equator. The Earth spins faster there, giving
rockets a boost in reaching orbit that allows them to carry heavier payloads. But there are few
suitable launching sites on the equator that would not involve political problems. Therefore, an
international consortium has converted an oil - drilling platform into a floating launch pad, rocket
assembly plant, and mission control. They hope to develop the capacity to launch commercial
telecommunications satellites.
