DSCOVR’s twin solar wings have opened to provide power to the spacecraft’s systems and instruments as it observes the sun and our home planet to show the changing conditions on Earth. The mission is a partnership of NOAA, NASA and the U.S. Air Force.
Way to go! Absolutely perfect launch, can’t wait to share the video with my students tomorrow! Am very impressed with how quickly Falcon transitions from flight to function in space1 Wow! ” From ground to work in ten minutes or less” – sounds like a great slogan!
Godspeed Discovr!
God Bless America!
