For other mission questions, please contact NASA Kennedy\u2019s newsroom: 321-867-2468.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NASA will post updates on launch preparations to prepare the spacecraft on the
