LAWRENCE LIVERMORE LAB SCIENTISTS BUILD TELESCOPE FOR INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION

Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLNL) scientists designed and built a telescope that, as of March 14, was out of this world. The Stellar Occultation Hypertemporal Imaging Payload (SOHIP) is a telescope using LLNL patented optics technology on a gimbal to observe and measure atmospheric gravity waves and turbulence. The device was sent aboard a SpaceX rocket out of Cape Canaveral in Florida last month to the International Space Station (ISS).
