New Views of Planet Earth | NASA's PACE Earth Ocean & Atmosphere Satellite

Artemis II captured stunning views of our home planet, but did you know NASA has an entire fleet of satellites studying Earth? These views come from PACE. It studies Earth’s ocean and atmosphere. The Plankton, Aerosol, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) satellite, launched in February 2024—is exploring unique views of our home planet’s ocean, atmosphere, and land surfaces. 

PACE's data is helping us better understand how the ocean and atmosphere exchange carbon dioxide. In addition, it is revealing how aerosols might fuel phytoplankton growth in the surface ocean. Novel uses of PACE data will benefit our economy and society. For example, it will help identify the extent and duration of harmful algal blooms. PACE is extending and expanding NASA's long-term observations of our living planet.
