NASA Goddard is preparing to demonstrate for the fist time in space, a 3-wavelength, laser remote sensing instrument.

The Cloud-Aerosol Transport System or CATS will measure clouds and aerosols in the Earth's atmosphere.

This cost-effective, technology demonstration will be deployed on the International Space Station as early as December 2014
