NASA Ocean Ecosystem Mission Preparing to Make Waves

(04-Jun-20) After passing its last critical design review in February 2020 - a rigorous evaluation by NASA science and engineering experts to ensure the mission and its components are sound before starting the building process - PACE has entered its integration and testing phase of development. An engineering test unit of its key instrument, the Ocean Color Instrument (OCI), is under construction at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and both the instrument and spacecraft will soon be tested in rigorous conditions that simulate launch and orbit.
