Submission + - NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory Mission Fails

jw3 writes: The NASA Orbiting Carbon Observatory scheduled for launch today failed its mission today: the payload fairing failed to separate and the launch managers declared a contingency. George Diller, NASA lauch commentator, said: "It either did not separate or did not separate in the way that it should, but at any rate we're still trying to evaluate exactly what the status of the spacecraft is at this point."
