Weather delays forced NASA and SpaceX to reschedule the launch of the Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, and Ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission. The mission's goal is to comprehend the effects of microscopic life in water and air by investigating ocean-atmosphere connections in the context of climate change. PACE will use phytoplankton research to track atmospheric variables, ocean health, and carbon dioxide exchange. The aerosol products of the mission will monitor hazardous algal blooms and support health advisories for events such as wildfires. Scientists highlight the importance of PACE in furthering our understanding of the Earth system while expressing excitement for new discoveries.
