NASA greenhouse gas satellite fails

* * * Story Highlights
* * * $273 million project was intended to study effect of greenhouse gases
* * * NASA: Crew members scrambling to figure out what went wrong with
satellite
* * * Problem arose several minutes into launch of a rocket carrying the
satellite

(CNN) -- NASA said early Tuesday that it failed to launch a satellite which
would have monitored greenhouse gases to study how they affect the Earth's
climate.

The rocket carrying the satellite launched at 1:55 a.m. PT (4:55 a.m. ET)
from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, but the "payload fairing
failed to separate," according to a statement on NASA's Web site.

The problems occurred several minutes into the launch.

"We have declared a launch contingency, meaning that we did not have a
successful launch tonight," said George Diller, an agency spokesman.

Project crew members on the ground were trying to determine the cause. NASA
scheduled a news conference for later in the morning to provide more
details.

The $273 million satellite, called the Orbiting Carbon Observatory, would
have collected "precise global measurements of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the
Earth's atmosphere" to help better forecast the changes in carbon dioxide
"and the effect that these changes may have on the Earth's climate."


Hey Rich why do you choose to keep using these fake names? Is it
because you are ashamed of your posts? Or is it because you don't
people to realize just what a sad little person you are, kinda like
Nancy the zeta reticulan, or Brad Guth or maybe Danny Minn
