UBJ - Ahead of its planned launch in February 2024, NASA mission officials have been working with a diverse group of applied scientists and environmental experts, gearing up for the vast array of benefits that PACE data is expected to bring to applied real-world scenarios. The Early Adopter program of PACE is an initiative designed to incorporate scientific findings into commercial, environmental, and policy-making endeavors, all aimed at societal advancement.

NASA - Professional rock climber Alex Honnold and NASA oceanographer Ivona Cetinić talk about ocean color, plankton, climate and all things PACE. PACE is the Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem mission and is poised to measure the world's oceans with unprecedented resolution.

NASA - From the atmosphere down to the surface of the ocean, data from NASA’s PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem) satellite benefits ecosystems, human health, and underrepresented communities.

Science Friday - Did you know you can see plankton … from space? Earlier this year, NASA launched a satellite to do exactly that.

Nature - When I took over as the director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, I inherited a project that tracks temperature changes since 1880. Using this trove of data, I’ve made climate predictions at the start of every year since 2016. It’s humbling, and a bit worrying, to admit that no year has confounded climate scientists’ predictive capabilities more than 2023 has.

PrintMag - Something impossible to see with the naked eye: phytoplankton. Something newly possible to see from space: phytoplankton.

Medriva - Recently, NASA's Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) satellite mission was successfully launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The spacecraft was propelled into orbit by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, marking a significant step forward in our fight against climate change and our quest for understanding the Earth’s ecosystem. The PACE mission is a groundbreaking initiative that aims to study the effects of climate change on phytoplankton, a key player in the global carbon cycle and ecosystem processes.

NASA EarthDATA - When NASA's Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PAC) satellite launched into space on February 8, 2024, the team was excited for the spacecraft to begin its mission. This is not only because the endeavor was more than a decade in the making and critical for understanding Earth's ocean, atmosphere, and climate change.
