Scheduled for launch in January 2024, the PACE mission represents NASA’s next investment in ocean biology, clouds, and aerosol data records. A key feature of PACE is the inclusion of an advanced satellite radiometer known as the Ocean Color Instrument (OCI), a global mapping radiometer that combines multispectral and hyperspectral remote sensing. This paper describes the methods used for pre-launch calibration of OCI and considerations to ensure the combination of Ground Support Equipment (GSE) and instrument effects meet uncertainty and performance requirements. General considerations when designing a calibration campaign are also discussed.
