NASA's Satellite Goes Down

After NASA launches a satellite, minutes later it comes down with a boom. NASA's program manager said the launch was a failure because lack of force need to move it. If it was a success it would have indicated the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. the payload fairning wasn't active which cause a malfunction for it to work properly. Scientists are still unsure what the cause was, but investigations are active. Multimillionaire satellite was built for the purpose of a solution to the greenhouse effect which as carbon dioxide traps heat such as a greenhouse acts. The OCO would serve as many other machines. Since it took 8 years to develop, it was a great loss.
