RT @NASA_LSP: #KeepingPACE and Counting Down! T-12 hours until launch of the Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem mission!
PACE is LSP’s first launch to polar orbit from the Eastern Range. The Falcon 9 will be heading south after liftoff, so keep an eye out if you are in the area!🚀
PACE’s two polarimeters – HARP2 and SPEXone – see rainbows everywhere they look! They’ll help scientists study the properties of light in Earth’s atmosphere and how aerosols and clouds interact. #KeepingPACEgo.nasa.gov/48VnVrw
On Feb. 6, we’re #KeepingPACE by launching a new satellite! 🚀
PACE will see the ocean in more colors than ever before, helping scientists monitor phytoplankton and ocean health, and study Earth’s atmosphere and how clouds and aerosols interact. 🌊☁️go.nasa.gov/3Si246J
RT @NASAGoddard: We’re gearing up to launch PACE, our next Earth-monitoring satellite, Feb. 6 at 1:33 a.m. EST. Hear from experts from @NASAEarth and @NASA_LSP ahead of launch. And if you’re a night owl excited about #KeepingPACE with us, tune in to see PACE launch live: go.nasa.gov/47WY2qg
Fred Huemmrich, a member of PACE’s applications team, is excited to see the hyperspectral data from OCI come in.
The data will have other uses like using color to identify plant health! If only PACE could help keep house plants alive too 🌱#KeepingPACEgo.nasa.gov/4bighsR
The PACE launch is right around the corner and you don't want to miss out on any of the pre-launch coverage! It's available on major platforms, including Apple TV, Roku, iOS, Android & the NASA app!
As an instrument scientist who worked on one of PACE's polarimeters, it's no wonder Dr. Jeroen Rietjens loves all of these different light scattering phenomena.
Natasha Sadoff, deputy coordinator for the PACE applications program, loves The Little Mermaid and can’t wait for all that PACE will learn about the world above and the fathoms below. go.nasa.gov/3vLJDj1#KeepingPACE
After launch, PACE will help scientists like Jeremy Werdell –PACE project scientist & @nasagoddard biological oceanographer– study ocean health, aerosols, and the ocean's role in the global carbon cycle. 🌊#KeepingPACE
Otto Hasekamp is #KeepingPACE by persisting, and he advises aspiring scientists to do the same.
Hasekamp is a scientist at @SRON_Space and is the science lead for SPEXone, one of the polarimeters on PACE. Learn more about Otto: go.nasa.gov/4aHVVcj
This swirl is actually made up of microscopic organisms called phytoplankton. The PACE mission, launching in February 2024, will help us learn more about these colorful swirls and identify the phytoplankton species within them. #KeepingPACE
PACE’s two polarimeters see rainbows everywhere they look. They’ll be able to gather data about the properties of light in Earth’s atmosphere, to help scientists learn about aerosols, clouds, and how they interact. go.nasa.gov/48gLsT1#KeepingPACE
