PACE Satellite Deploys Solar Array

This is PACE’s solar array deploying in the cleanroom at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

PACE is NASA's Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem mission, currently in the design phase of mission development. It is scheduled to launch in 2024, extending and improving NASA's over 20-year record of satellite observations of global ocean biology, aerosols (tiny particles suspended in the atmosphere), and clouds.
