Scientists at American space agency, NASA have said that the newcarbon dioxide tracking satellite is now operational.
The new mission, which will cost $468 million, is aimed at studying in driver of climate change emitted from smokestacks and tailpipes. Some of the carbon dioxide is absorbed by trees and oceans and the remaining is lifted to the atmosphere.
The $468 million mission is designed to study the main driver of climate change emitted from smokestacks and tailpipes.
Ralph Basilio, project manager of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) expressed delight at the successful launch in the post-launch news conference earlier in the week. He said that the satellite is now currently in stable condition. Basilio said that the observatory separated from the launch vehicle's second stage around 56 minutes after it blasted off from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on Wednesday.
The satellite is already in 426-mileorbit. The second stage is the part of the vehiclethat brings the payloadinto orbit after the first stage successfully sends the satellite into space.
