Lost satellite deals blow to climate research
[ Fri, 4 Mar 2011 23:19:22 GMT ]

In this three-minute time-exposure photo made with a fish-eye lens, a Taurus XL rocket carrying NASA's Glory satellite lifts off from California's Vandenberg Air Force Base early Friday. Several minutes into the flight, the rocket carrying the Earth-observation satellite plummeted back to Earth.For the second time in two years, a rocket glitch sent a NASA global warming satellite to the bottom of the sea Friday, a $424 million debacle that couldn't have come at a worse time for the space agency and its efforts to understand climate change.
