This is an artistas concept of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory
This is an artistas concept of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory. The mission, scheduled to launch in early 2009, will be the first spacecraft dedicated to studying atmospheric carbon dioxide, the principal human-produced driver of climate change. It will provide the first global picture of the human and natural sources of carbon dioxide and the places where this important greenhouse gas is stored. Such information will improve global carbon cycle models as well as forecasts of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and of how our climate may change in the future

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artist's concept of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory, a groundbreaking mission set to launch in early 2009. As the first spacecraft solely dedicated to studying atmospheric carbon dioxide, this observatory aims to unravel the mysteries surrounding climate change, specifically focusing on its principal human-produced driver. From its vantage point in space, this illustration provides a mesmerizing view of our planet Earth. The two objects depicted are representative of satellites and solar panels that power this innovative spacecraft. With no humans present in the image, it emphasizes the technological advancements and scientific exploration taking place beyond our atmosphere. The vibrant colors and horizontal composition create an immersive experience for viewers as they imagine themselves witnessing this significant milestone in space travel and research. By capturing data from various locations worldwide, including both natural sources and human activities emitting carbon dioxide, this observatory will provide invaluable insights into global carbon cycle models. As we gaze upon this digitally generated image, we are reminded of Earth's fragility and our responsibility to protect it. The Orbiting Carbon Observatory holds great promise for improving forecasts of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels while enhancing our understanding of how climate may evolve in years to come.
