NASA’s newest Earth-observing satellite has made it off the chopping block all the way to orbit.
The nearly $1 billion PACE mission, which the Trump administration tried to cancel four separate times, launched atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket early this morning (Feb. 8) from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
When it’s up and running, PACE will make key observations of Earth’s atmosphere and climate and allow scientists to assess the health of our oceans like never before.
