Gaseous oxygen vents away from the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket standing at Space Launch Complex 40 at Florida’s Cape Canaveral Air Force Station during the first launch attempt for NOAA’s Deep Space Climate Observatory spacecraft, or DSCOVR. The mission is a partnership between NOAA, NASA and the U.S. Air Force. DSCOVR will maintain the nation's real-time solar wind monitoring capabilities which are critical to the accuracy and lead time of NOAA's space weather alerts and forecasts.
