Date: 2022Mission: Plankton, Aerosol Cloud Ocean Ecosystem (PACE)Description:PACE will advance the assessment of ocean health by measuring the distribution of phytoplankton, tiny plants and algae that sustain the marine food web.
TimelinePACE is being implemented as a NASA Class C mission with a notional launch date in the 2024 timeframe and a minimum mission duration of three years, with orbit maintenance capabilities for 10 years.
[May 2021] Note that the PACE launch will be no earlier than November 30, 2023. The timeline below will be adjusted as a detailed schedule is further developed.

IMECE, which will be launched from the USA, will serve in a synchronous orbit to the Sun at an altitude of 680 kilometers and will display images within 48 hours after launch. IMECE, which will obtain high-resolution images from all over the world without geographical restrictions, will serve Turkey in many areas such as detection and diagnosis, natural disasters, mapping, agricultural applications. The design duty life of the satellite, which can be used for civil and security purposes, is planned as 5 years.With IMECE, Turkey will have an electro-optical satellite camera with sub-meter resolution for the first time.IMECE will be launched on January 15th.
