DELTA II LAUNCH SCHEDULED

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. - Team Vandenberg is scheduled to launch
a NASA satellite on a United Launch Alliance rocket from Space Launch
Complex-2 here Tuesday, July 1, at 2:56 a.m. PST.

The Delta II rocket will carry NASA's Orbiting Carbon
Observatory-2; the second of NASA's five Earth science missions to launch
in 2014.

Col. Keith Balts, 30th Space Wing commander, will be the launch
decision authority.

"A launch like this takes dedication and teamwork," said Balts. "I
am proud of this launch team and our partnership with NASA. Everyone
involved has been working tirelessly to ensure this launch is a safe and
successful one."

OCO-2 is NASA's first mission dedicated to studying atmospheric
carbon dioxide, the leading human- produced greenhouse gas driving changes
in Earth's climate. OCO-2 will provide a new tool for understanding the
human and natural sources of carbon dioxide emissions and the natural
"sinks" that absorb carbon dioxide and help control its buildup. The
observatory will measure the global geographic distribution of these
sources and sinks and study their changes over time.
