NASA’s Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) spacecraft is safely in space, successfully deployed its solar arrays and is processing power.

OCO-2 is NASA’s first mission dedicated to studying atmospheric carbon dioxide, the leading human-produced greenhouse gas driving changes in Earth’s climate. OCO-2 will provide a new tool for understanding the human and natural sources of carbon dioxide emissions and the natural “sinks” that absorb carbon dioxide and help control its buildup. The observatory will measure the global geographic distribution of these sources and sinks and study their changes over time.

Seen here is the United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket launching with the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 satellite onboard from Space Launch Complex 2 at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. on Wednesday, July 2, 2014.
