NASA Invites Media to Launch of New Mission to Study Oceans, Clouds
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Media accreditation is open for the upcoming launch of NASA’s PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud ocean Ecosystem) Earth observing science mission.
NASA and SpaceX are targeting no earlier than Tuesday, Feb. 6, for a Falcon 9 rocket to launch PACE to orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
Media accreditation application deadlines for the PACE launch are as follows:
- U.S. media and U.S. citizens representing international media must apply by 5 p.m. EST on Wednesday, Jan. 17.
- International media without U.S. citizenship must apply by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 2.
Media accreditation requests must be submitted online at:
NASA’s media accreditation policy is available online. For questions about accreditation, or to request special logistical needs, please email: [email protected]. For other mission questions, please contact NASA Kennedy’s newsroom: 321-867-2468.
The PACE mission will continue and improve NASA’s 20-year record of satellite observations of global ocean biology, aerosols, and clouds. Data from the mission will help NASA understand how the ocean and atmosphere exchange carbon dioxide, measure key atmospheric variables associated with air quality and Earth’s climate, and monitor ocean health, in part by studying phytoplankton, tiny plants and algae that sustain the marine food web.
NASA will post updates on launch preparations to prepare the spacecraft on the PACE blog.
