NASA’s Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) Launch From Vandenberg Air Force Base
NASA’s first spacecraft dedicated to studying carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere was successfully launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. OCO-2 will be collecting a great number of high-resolution measurements, which will provide a greater spatial distribution of CO2 over the entire globe, in short, a bigger, clearer, more complete picture of global CO2. These measurements will be combined with data from the ground-based network to provide scientists with the information that they need to better understand the processes that regulate atmospheric CO2 and its role in the carbon cycle.
Diller's voice had a sort of old-timey news anchor tone when he said "liftoff". I liked it. 😛
It was so cool to watch this live!

deixar um OCOÂ
that was a good launch where the video cuts off seco 1 happened they are at A Train Orbit but they need one more burn to get OCO-2 out front and they need to fire the thrusters on the second stage to drop it out of orbit so the A Train does not collide with it.Â

So why am I watching animation????? Polar orbit ay might be able to study the Black Knight.
Jailson Mendes approves
So after wasting $280,000,000 of other peoples money in a spectacular failure, what does NASA do? Go back and ask for another chance at wasting even more money. Don't worry guys….your mortgages will get paid next month.
Ai que delicia de OCO-2
