LIS SCF

The GHRC DAAC has published the “LIS 0.1 Degree Very High Resolution Gridded Lightning Climatology Data Collection” (DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5067/LIS/LIS/DATA304), comprising five datasets:

International Space Station ‪Lightning‬ Imaging Sensor (‪LIS‬) Principal Investigator Richard Blakeslee and members of the

During December 1-15, GHRC DAAC staff and the MSFC Lightning Science Team supported a Payload Rack Checkout Unit (PRCU) for ISS LIS and other instruments in the DoD STP-H5 (Space Test Program-Houston 5) package.

The Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) continues preparation for product generation and archiving of data from the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS), to be deployed on the International Space Station (ISS) in 2016. William Ellett, ISS LIS team lead for the Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC), attended the External Payloads Splinter of the 38th Payload Operations and Integration Working Group (POIWG) for ISS on July 22. The new GHRC processing server, which will host ISS LIS product generation, is now fully operational and has firewall exceptions for ISS LIS data ingest.

GHRC personnel and members of the science team for the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) met with the Payload Operations Integration Center (POIC) at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center on June 25. A second LIS instrument, sister to the LIS on the recently ended Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite, will be to be deployed to the International Space Station (ISS) in early 2016. The POIC is the primary NASA ground system responsible for integrated operational payload flight control and planning for the ISS.
