A U.S. satellite to monitor the global carbon dioxide emissions fell to the sea near Antarctica, on Tuesday, after failing to reach orbit, NASA says.
According to the outer body of the U.S., failure is a big disappointment for the science of climate.
Satellite was successfully launched from Vandenberg Pangkalan AU in California, with the Taurus XL rocket at 01:55 local time or 16:51 WIB, NASA said.
Mission of fatal error that occurred several minutes after launch when the skin such as the nose cone shells, which protect the satellite during launch, failed to separate completely.
"Indications show vehicle while the outer was not strong enough to reach orbit and fall to the sea close to Antarctica," said John Brunschwyler, program director of the Taurus rocket at Orbital Sciences Corporation, the rocket company based in Virginia, as reported AFP.
"The whole team was very disappointed, we were very surprised with the results of that," he said, while adding that 56 of 57 Taurus rocket was launched without any problems on decades ago.
NASA Flight Director, Chuck Dovale, calling it a failure as a "big disappointment" in the scientific community. (*)
