ACE (3788 words) |
 | The launch of NASA's Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) aboard a Boeing Delta II rocket is scheduled for Aug. 24. |
| The scientific goal of the ACE mission is to measure accurately the composition of several different types of matter, including particles coming from the Sun, the very thin gas between the planets, the even thinner gas just outside the solar system, and matter from distant parts of the galaxy. |
| NASA's Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE), to be launched aboard a McDonnell Douglas Delta II rocket in August, arrived today at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) to begin prelaunch processing. |
