Yep!

A similar mishap took place in February 2009, when a satellite designed to monitor global carbon dioxide emissions plummeted into the ocean near Antarctica after failing to reach orbit, in a setback for climate science. There too, a fatal mission error occurred minutes after liftoff when a clamshell-like nose cone known as a fairing, which protects the satellite during its ascent, failed to separate properly.

Now that is interesting. I didn’t realize their other “fairing problem” launch was also a climate science mission. That is starting to smell - pretty convenient that we’re being denied real, hard data that would no-doubt refute the AGW scam.
