Several minutes into the flight of the Taurus rocket carrying NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory spacecraft, launch managers declared a contingency after the payload fairing failed to separate. For the latest information, please refer to the OCO Web site at www.nasa.gov/oco.
Fairing Failed to Separate
Tue, 24 Feb 2009 07:14:32 PM GMT+0900
According to NASA Commentator George Diller, the payload fairing failed to separate from the vehicle during ascent.
Contingency Declared

OCO:3of3 Fairing Failed to Separate
It appears there has been a launch contingency. We are still awaiting further information, but NASA Launch Director Chuck Dovale has asked that the contingency plan be implemented. Stay tuned for more details.

cross-calibration between OCO and GOSAT
"The cross-calibration between OCO and GOSAT will improve confidence that both satellites are making accurate measurements.
OCO's spectrometer will provide greater sensitivity on carbon dioxide measurements but is unable to detect methane. GOSAT's orbit is designed to bring the satellite over the same location more often, allowing the craft's lower resolution instrument to create a new global map every three days.
Together, OCO and GOSAT provide independent measurements that will help scientists better understand this important greenhouse gas and its impacts on our present and future climate," Crisp said. "

Q: Why is comet Lulin green?
A: The green color arises when ionized cyanogen and carbon gases in the comet's atmosphere emit radiation in green wavelengths. These gases vaporize when the ices in the comet's nucleus get close enough to the sun.

Several minutes into the flight of the Taurus rocket carrying NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory spacecraft, launch managers declared a contingency after the payload fairing failed to separate. For the latest information, please refer to the OCO Web site at www.nasa.gov/oco.
Fairing Failed to Separate
Tue, 24 Feb 2009 07:14:32 PM GMT+0900
According to NASA Commentator George Diller, the payload fairing failed to separate from the vehicle during ascent.
Contingency Declared

OCO:3of3 Fairing Failed to Separate
It appears there has been a launch contingency. We are still awaiting further information, but NASA Launch Director Chuck Dovale has asked that the contingency plan be implemented. Stay tuned for more details.

cross-calibration between OCO and GOSAT
"The cross-calibration between OCO and GOSAT will improve confidence that both satellites are making accurate measurements.
OCO's spectrometer will provide greater sensitivity on carbon dioxide measurements but is unable to detect methane. GOSAT's orbit is designed to bring the satellite over the same location more often, allowing the craft's lower resolution instrument to create a new global map every three days.
Together, OCO and GOSAT provide independent measurements that will help scientists better understand this important greenhouse gas and its impacts on our present and future climate," Crisp said. "

Q: Why is comet Lulin green?
A: The green color arises when ionized cyanogen and carbon gases in the comet's atmosphere emit radiation in green wavelengths. These gases vaporize when the ices in the comet's nucleus get close enough to the sun.

Botched Launch Dooms Carbon-Tracker's Mission: Discovery News
"The extra weight caused the satellite to fall back to Earth.
It splashed down in the ocean just north of Antarctica."

"A rocket carrying a NASA global warming satellite splashed into the ocean near Antarctica Tuesday after an early morning launch failure.
Tuesday's failure comes a month after Japan successfully launched the world's first satellite to monitor global warming emissions."

次のTaurus Rocket便は 10月に予定されていたOCOの姉妹Mission: Gloryだが、衛星設計自体にOrbital Scienceが食い込んでいるのであった
The Glory spacecraft uses Orbital Science Corporation's LEOStar bus design, with deployable solar panels, 3-axis stabilization, and X-band/S-band RF communications capabilities.

"Our goal will be to find a root cause, and we won't fly the Glory mission until we have that data known to us."

cross-calibration between OCO and GOSAT
"The cross-calibration between OCO and GOSAT will improve confidence that both satellites are making accurate measurements.
OCO's spectrometer will provide greater sensitivity on carbon dioxide measurements but is unable to detect methane. GOSAT's orbit is designed to bring the satellite over the same location more often, allowing the craft's lower resolution instrument to create a new global map every three days.
Together, OCO and GOSAT provide independent measurements that will help scientists better understand this important greenhouse gas and its impacts on our present and future climate," Crisp said. "

Q：アメリカの温室効果ガス観測衛星「OCO」（来月打ち上げ）との役割分担はどうなっているのか。
A：アメリカとは両計画がスタートした後に協力関係を始めている。共通理解は「両衛星のデータを世界中の科学者が使えるようにしたい」ということ。例えばデータが比較可能なように、測定精度をはっきりさせるというようなこと。また、打ち上げ後のデータの処理ソフトを相互で交換して比較する。 宇宙作家クラブ ニュース掲示板

Q: Why is comet Lulin green?
A: The green color arises when ionized cyanogen and carbon gases in the comet's atmosphere emit radiation in green wavelengths. These gases vaporize when the ices in the comet's nucleus get close enough to the sun.
