The Orbiting Carbon Observatory was the US space agency NASA’s first craft dedicated to monitoring carbon dioxide on a global scale. Measurements collected from the $280-million mission were expected to improve climate models, and help researchers determine where the greenhouse gas originates and how much is being absorbed by forests and oceans.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But minutes after the launch in California on Tuesday, a protective cover – or fairing — on the rocket failed to separate and drift away from the satellite, according to a preliminary investigation. The fairing is a clamshell-like cover that protects the satellite as the rocket blasts through the earth’s atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Last month, Japan successfully launched the world’s first satellite to monitor the planet’s rising greenhouse-gas emissions, which are linked to climate change.<\/p>\n
