    NASA Selects Caltech to Operate the Orbiting Carbon Observatories

    NASA has selected Caltech to operate the Orbiting Carbon Observatory missions (OCO-2 and OCO-3) starting this fall. These missions, which include a satellite and an instrument on the International Space Station (ISS), identify where carbon is being emitted or absorbed by natural sinks like forests and oceans. The data gathered will aid in understanding agricultural health, providing information on plant productivity and ecosystem health.
