NASA created a Cloud-Aerosol Transport System (CATS) that launched in 2014. CATS is a remote sensing instrument to provide range-resolved profile measurements of atmospheric aerosols and clouds from the International Space Station (ISS). In simple English, it’s technology that interprets (and hel...
In 2006 NASA launched the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations, or CALIPSO, spacecraft—a joint mission between NASA and France's space agency, the Centre National d'Études Spatiales. CALIPSO carries a lidar that provides vertical distributions and properties of clouds...
NASA sent images of employees' pets from Earth to the ISS using lasers as part of the agency's Space Communications and Navigation program

The interactions between clouds and aerosols are illustrated in this image, taken by retired astronaut Chris Hadfield onboard the International Space Station. It shows contrails produced by aircraft (bright streaks) over the ocean. Credit: NASA/Chris Hadfield ...
Lidar and Laser Technology for NASA'S Cloud-Aerosol Transport System (CATS) Payload on The International Space Station (JEM-EF) This paper describes the ISS lidar technology provided by Fibertek, Inc. in support of the NASA GSFC CATS mission and provides an assessment of the in-flight systems...
The mission helped refine and streamline the process for putting future NASA payloads on the station. CATS was the first high repetition-rate, photon-counting lidar in space first NASA-developed payload for the Japanese Experiment Module - Exposed Facility (JEM-EF) on the space station and ...
