Launched Feb. 24,2009 http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/oco/main/index.html Orbiting Carbon Observatory Orbital Sciences Taurus XL rocket The Taurus is a ground-launched version of Orbital Sciences air-launched Pegasus rocket.
@taofledermaus I was sitting in Orbital's Dulles complex when this launched - my father was in the MOCC - and this is all we saw either. The feed from Vandenberg flipped to this almost immediately after the Taurus left the pad.

Did anyone besides me get actual photos of the rocket launch? I could have ripped off the clip from NASA's website too....
