The project's official website (listed first under External links) is giving me an HTTP 403 error. I cannot identify any technical problem on my end that is causing this. I am on the California Institute of Technology campus, but I have just had someone from my home confirm this problem too. It is likely that either access to the website is restricted to authorized JPL users/locations or there is a problem with the server.
I think this adversely affects the viability of the link as an external link or reference. What is the best way to deal with this? (Some kind of template tag?) 131.215.159.229 ( talk) 19:14, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
The lead says landed. Should it say crashed or something?-- Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 17:35, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Did the rocket's re-entry into atmoshphere and subsequent crashing into some (uncontrolled) place imposed any threat for sometime ??What damage it could have caused on area it crashed.? If yes, should this be introduced into the article? 203.122.33.194 ( talk) 08:54, 25 February 2009 (UTC)Maddy,India
Seems ripe for conspiracy theories. Many nations and industries would benefit (short term) from a lack of accurate global warming data. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.70.43.65 ( talk) 17:25, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Note that OCO is a re-direct here. However, please note what Obama says is the term the War on Terror should be called?? Its initials are OCO, and does anyone think the abbreviation is common enough that it makes sense to remove the re-direct to make a dis-ambiguation page?? Georgia guy ( talk) 20:30, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
The mission repeat will be launched this summer: Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2. [1] Cheers, BatteryIncluded ( talk) 23:31, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. The request was not specific enough. |
I read in the news today that the U.S. Justice Department entered an agreement with the company that made the fairings to pay restitution for test result fraud. see https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/aluminum-extrusion-manufacturer-agrees-pay-over-46-million-defrauding-customers-including
Since I work for Northrop Grumman, which now owns Orbital, I don't want to make the edit myself. (I don't have anything to do with that part of the business, but still feels like a COI to me.) I think this info should be included in the "Original Launch" section to explain the fairing failure. Psu256 ( talk) 21:42, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Ok, let's try this again. (As an engineer, reading about engineering failures is an interest of mine.) Please add, at the end of the "Original Launch" section:
On 23 April 2019, the U.S. Justice Department announced that a settlement had been reached with the manufacturer of the faulty fairings. It was revealed that the company, Sapa Profiles Inc., had falsified test records over the course of many years (1996-2015). In 2017, a testing lab supervisor was sentenced to three years in prison and a $170000 fine for his role in the falsifications. [1] [2] [3]
