Notes from the Field: The Long and Winding Road to Launch
2024.02.05
A few paths in life are short and direct; more of them are long and winding.
This week, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station carrying the PACE satellite, short for Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud ocean Ecosystem. Once in orbit 676 kilometers (420 miles) above our planet, the newest addition to NASA’s fleet of Earth-observers will look at the oceans and land surfaces in more than 100 wavelengths of light from the infrared through the visible spectrum and into the ultraviolet.
For NASA and the ocean science community, the PACE launch will be the culmination of 9 or 46 years of work, depending on when you start counting.
