NASA’s Cloud-Aerosol Transport System, or CATS, is a lidar remote-sensing instrument that measured atmospheric aerosols and clouds from the International Space Station (ISS). The CATS payload improved our understanding of aerosol and cloud properties and interactions, as well as demonstrated a low-cost.

During its mission, NASA’s Cloud-Aerosol Transport System (CATS) lidar provided measurements of the vertical structure of clouds and aerosols, including volcanic eruptions, man-made pollution in China and India, smoke from wildfires in North America and dust storms in the Middle East.
