OCI Team Photo Pose with the Instrument Integrated to the Tilt Mechanism

Ocean Color Instrument (OCI) team members pose with the flight hardware after successful instrument integration to the Tilt mechanism. OCI is a highly advanced optical spectrometer that will be used to measure properties of light over portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. It will enable continuous measurement of light at finer wavelength resolution than previous NASA satellite sensors, extending key system ocean color data records for climate studies. OCI is PACE's (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem) primary sensor built at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD.
