The DoD STP-H5 (Space Test Program-Houston 5) payload package containing the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) to the International Space Station (ISS) was successfully installed and powered on, February 27.  ISS LIS raw data are now being received at the LIS Payload Operations Control Center (POCC), shown in the image below, and transmitted to the GHRC DAAC. Beta software at the GHRC is generating preliminary data for review by the ISS LIS science team.  Near-real-time and standard lightning products from ISS LIS will be processed, archived and distributed at the GHRC DAAC.
