This week we celebrated the #NASAPACEMission “500 Days (And Counting) In Orbit” milestone, hosted by the #HARP2 team at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. I’ve been on the mission 3 yrs but the it’s been going on 10+ yrs and it was a well-earned day to enjoy w colleagues 🍻
Big colorful frosted sheet cake with the PACE mission logo in fondant (I think) and lettering that says “500 Days and Counting” A picture of one of the presentations by the HARP2 team, which is one of the payloads on PACE. It’s a polarimeter developed at UMBC and the presentation was a lighthearted story about the struggles of the concept, development, testing, and delivery of the instrument to Goddard prior to integrating it to the PACE observatory. Very timely! Fun little scale model of PACE on a standard sized Earth globe. The PACE model is not to proportional scale though.. it would dwarf us and violate at least 12 laws of physics. And likely not enough precious metals in the world to build it. BUT it would keep our hardware ppl busy :)

Flight operations engineer Carissa Arillo helped ensure one of the instruments on NASA’s PACE mission made it successfully through its prelaunch testing. #CarissaArillo #ConversationswithGoddard #GoddardSpaceFlightCenter #NASA #NASAPACEMission
