Good news on 1/25/03: NASA’s Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE) successfully launched today aboard a Pegasus XL rocket over the Atlantic Ocean. Dropped from the wing of a L-1011 carrier aircraft at 3:14 p.m. EST, separation of the spacecraft from the rocket occurred 10 minutes and 46 seconds after launch at about 3:24 p.m. Initial contact with the satellite was made seven seconds after separation via a NASA communications satellite network. Orbital handled the launch, while the University of Colorado is in charge of the science, including the next five years of data accumulation and distribution. This mission is to help understand and protect our planet. BJ
