"NASA's PACE Mission: Weather Scrubbed Launch Set for Feb. 7"

SpaceX is preparing to launch the PACE ocean science satellite for NASA aboard a Falcon 9 rocket in a rare polar corridor launch from Florida. The satellite is equipped with instruments to measure ocean color, aerosols, and clouds, providing valuable data on the marine ecosystem and atmosphere. The launch, originally scheduled for Feb. 6, was delayed due to weather conditions and is now set for Feb. 7. If successful, PACE could offer extended missions after its primary three-year mission. This launch marks SpaceX's 11th mission of the year and is part of their ambitious goal to conduct up to 120 Falcon missions in 2023.
