Successful launch of #NASA’s Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem mission #PACE! 🚀 🛰️

Its three instruments #OCI, #HARP2, and #SPEXone will give valuable data on phytoplankton in oceans, cloud formation, and fine particles in the atmosphere, to better monitor ocean health, air quality, and climate change.

The NL-built SPEXone polarimeter was developed by #SRON and #AirbusNL, supported by #TNO, to give unsurpassed polarimetric accuracy.

And indeed: no launch today!

The launch of NASA’s PACE mission has been rescheduled for 8 Feb 07:33 CET / 06:33 GMT, see https://blogs.nasa.gov/pace/

Had I already mention it has an NL-built instrument on board? SPEXone, an amazing polarimeter!

NASA TV will be live-streaming the launch, presumably still at https://youtube.com/live/AtP0upSa_pU
