The United States first used to detect atmospheric carbon dioxide content of the Earth and its satellite distribution map drawn on the 24th due to launch failures and crashed into the sea near the Antarctic
According to Xinhua News Agency, the United States's first electric specific detection of the Earth and atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration of greenhouse gases for such a comprehensive distribution map drawn on the 24th satellite launch failure due to fall into the sea near the Antarctic.
The United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said that the launch in-orbit Carbon Observer (OCO), that is odorless carbon satellite preparation period of up to 8 years, the satellite crashed the relevant personnel of depression.
It is learned that NASA will set up a special committee to investigate olfactory carbon causes of the failure of satellite launching.
Separation failure
The Associated Press reports, This is NASA since September 2001 the first time since launching a major failure of mission. The entire satellite project cost 280 million U.S. dollars.
NASA launch director Chuck ‧ Sandoval described the failure of the scientific community extremely disappointed.
In accordance with the United States "New York Times" that Taurus XL rocket's third grade seven seconds after ignition, the rocket fairing the front of the failure isolation and arrows, with the result that is located under the fairing of the satellite can not be released into space.
Agence France-Presse reported, this is the first time for NASA to launch satellites using Taurus rocket. Olfactory carbon project manager Brenton Wheeler Shi say that in the past to launch the process of fairing has never been a problem.
Worse
According to NASA official website introduction, scientists had looked forward to using the thinner carbon 』satellite to collect information to help answer a series of questions, including the location of emission sources of carbon dioxide emissions, such as geographical distribution.
Carbon olfactory satellite hence the name. Its failure to make full z American scientific community criticized the efforts of NASA Earth observation also casts a shadow.
The United States National Academy of Sciences in 2007 warned that the Earth NASA research project has been in danger to study less and less ad hoc, the gradual aging of the relevant satellite.
This month, U.S. President Barack Obama ‧ economic stimulus plan put in 400 million U.S. dollars for NASA scientific research project. The Associated Press quoted NASA Science Department is responsible for weiler person as saying: 『money all u _ Bali earth science research. 』
Members of the National Academy of Sciences, Columbia University Professor Ruth ‧ de Vries said: 『very sorry, when we are trying to push back on track when the Earth observation, but the accident happened. 』
NASA used to study under a climate change satellite honor its launch scheduled for this summer, but this program will be thinner carbon investigate the causes of the accident have been suspended before.
Copy the satellite?
The Associated Press reported that carbon olfactory satellite launch fails, NASA is facing a problem is to not to recycling, or copy a thinner carbon .
Olfactory carbon members of a special team of Colorado State University, USA Professor Graeme Stephens ‧ that many members of task force is urging NASA to do so.
Will have serious impact on climate research
On the 24th, the United States carbon olfactory satellite due to launch vehicle failures in the Antarctic waters near the crash, which French climate experts believe that the accident will cause serious impact on climate research.
United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, vice chairman of France Jean ‧ Joinet Purcell told the media that if the carbon olfactory satellite successfully launched, it can be launched in January this year, Japan's greenhouse gas satellites simultaneously No. breathing observations of atmospheric carbon dioxide, for climate scientists to provide the overall greenhouse gas distribution and monitoring the process of change, therefore, the failure of the launch will result in related research is very adversely affected.
French research center on Climate Science Laboratory experts on the 26th Peter ‧ Reyna pointed out that although the respiratory launch filled the southern hemisphere oceans and tropical regions of Africa a blank observation of greenhouse gases, but its observation capabilities and the scope of carbon thinner than .
