Testing at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC) has been completed for the DoD STP-H5 (Space Test Program-Houston 5) package, which contains the International Space Station Lighting Imaging Sensor (ISS-LIS). STP-H5 has been put in “dwell” until time to integrate on the SpaceX spacecraft - set to launch August 1 for a 2-4 year or longer mission. ISS-LIS is a sister instrument to the LIS on NASA’s TRMM satellite. GHRC DAAC will provide product generation, archive and data distribution for ISS-LIS data.
