⏰Don't go to bed yet! PACE is launching in T-5 hours and you may have a unique chance to view it! PACE will launch into a polar orbit which means the Falcon 9 will be heading south over Florida instead of the typical east trajectory over the ocean. Keep your eye on the sky! 🚀
Satellite image showing the southern half of Florida, the Bahamas, and Cuba. A yellow line depicting the trajectory of the PACE launch starts by heading south off the coast of Cape Canaveral. Close to Miami, the trajectory turns slightly west and crosses over south Florida, the Keys, and Cuba.
