Space Daily - NASA's newest Earth-observing satellite, the Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE), has begun distributing science-quality data essential for studying ocean health, air quality, and climate change effects. Launched on February 8, PACE underwent extensive in-orbit testing to ensure its instruments function correctly. The public can now access this data through the dedicated portal.

UMBC News - Data from NASA’s newest Earth-observing satellite, which will provide insight into ocean health, air quality, and the effects of a changing climate, are now available. The Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) satellite launched on February 8, and after several subsequent weeks of testing of the spacecraft and instruments, the mission is gathering data that the public can access.
NASA - NASA is now publicly distributing science-quality data from its newest Earth-observing satellite, providing first-of-their-kind measurements of ocean health, air quality, and the effects of a changing climate.
Fox 5 San Diego - Erin Urquhart, Program Manager from NASA Water Resources talks about the PACE mission and what could be learned from the new satellite.
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.
NASA - PACE's cutting-edge technology will reveal new insights into our ocean, atmosphere and climate. To help you engage with PACE data, we have created a list of key resources. Icons indicate the resource type and time commitment to fully engage with that resource.
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.
