How does weather look for Thursday launch attempt?

While weather was a factor in canceling the last two scheduled launches of the mission, the Space Force says weather conditions on Wednesday into early Thursday morning look "very favorable," with only a low risk of cumulus clouds.

PACE mission

The launch will see a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carry a spacecraft called PACE, which stands for Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem. 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," according to the agency.

According to Spaceflight Now, the upcoming mission will be the first time in over 60 years that a U.S. government mission has aimed for a polar orbit from Cape Canaveral. Such launches were halted after a failed launch in 1960 caused debris to fall on Havana, killing a cow and sparking protests.
