The International Space Station Lightning Imaging Sensor (ISS LIS): An Overview of More Than Five Years of Science and Operations, With a Look Toward the Future of Spaceborne Lightning Observations

- ISS LIS is the flight spare of the original Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) LIS, which was kept in storage since the 1990s. - Modified and then integrated as a hosted payload on DoD Space Test Program-Houston 5 (STP-H5). Launched on SpaceX CRS-10 on February 19, 2017. - LIS measures global lightning (amount, rate, radiant energy) during day and night, with storm-scale resolution, millisecond timing, and high, spatially uniform detection efficiency.
