This viewgraph presentation reviews the mission and the architecture of NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO). It also discusses the method of making precise measurements of CO2 from space. Due to be launched in September of 2008, the OCO will fly 12 minutes ahead of the EOS Aqua platform in the Earth Observing System (EOS) Afternoon Constellation (A-Train). The OCO's mission is to identify the sources and sinks for atmospheric CO2.
