NASA International Space Station Briefing of the Cloud-Aerosol Transport System (CATS)
NASA held an Earth Science Briefing from the Kennedy Space Center about the Cloud-Aerosol Transport System (CATS) mission aboard the SpaceX CRS-5 Dragon cargo resupply spacecraft. The research will characterize and measure the worldwide distribution of clouds and aerosols — the tiny particles that make up haze, dust, air pollutants and smoke; model organism research using fruit flies to study the biological effects of spaceflight; and, a new study using flatworms to better understand wound healing in space.
The fifth SpaceX cargo mission to the International Space Station (ISS) under NASA’s Commercial Resupply Services contract will carry more than 3,700 pounds of scientific experiments, technology demonstrations and supplies, including critical materials to support 256 science and research investigations that will take place on the space station during ISS Expeditions 42 and 43.
Hey they fixed it! Sweet 😀
they all pierce there lips tight?????…
I am very glad you doing this and hope that you get more funding in tracking volcanic aerosols (especially pyroclastic), pollutants, and how they might interact over time.  I hope that from your observations and analytics, that we can get more accurate prevailing wind maps as they change from year to year. I don't think the average person understands how important tracking our atmosphere is. Keep up the good work.
