NASA's Launch Services Program (LSP) is preparing for its first launch of 2024. On board a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is the PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem) spacecraft.

Spaceflight Now had the opportunity to go inside the cleanroom at Astrotech in Titusville, Florida, to see PACE before it was encapsulated inside the payload fairings to see its three primary instruments. We also spoke with several key figures who helped bring the mission together.
