NASA Global Warming Satellite Crashes At Launch
February 24 – NASA’s Taurus XL rocket carrying global warming equipment to monitor carbon monoxide levels, crashed shortly after takeoff. The $280 million rocket crashed into the ocean near Antarctica.
The initial cause of the failure came when the clamshell-like fairing failed to separate causing excess weight effecting the propulsion system.
The satellite was expected to provide real-time CO2 data to help scientists monitor and study changing levels in the atmosphere.
