CATS (1 of 3)

Caption

Roughly the size of a refrigerator, CATS will use the same two laser wavelengths on NASA's CALIPSO mission, 1064 and 532 nanometers, and it will incorporate a third laser wavelength -- 355 nanometers. This will provide more detailed information about the particles in Earth's atmosphere.
