America’s first operational deep space satellite

DSCOVR successfully launched on February 11, 2015 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. It took the satellite just over 100 days to reach its final orbit at Lagrange point 1, orbiting nearly one million miles from Earth. Positioned between the sun and Earth, DSCOVR is able to maintain a constant view of the sun and sun-lit side of Earth.
