ISS LIS resulted from and with several key partnerships. The ISS Program Research Integration Office (PRIO) at NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) provided funding for development, launch and integration of LIS. The ISS PRIO also funded the DoD Space Test Program (STP) to add LIS to the STP-H5 Payload. The NASA Science Mission Directorate Earth Science Division initially leveraged TRMM LIS science funding to cover ISS LIS science, and then transitioned this support in 2017 to the Earth from ISS program. NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) partnered with University of Alabama Huntsville (UAH) to prepare the spare LIS for ISS, which included building the new Interface Unit (IFU), and MSFC partnered with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center to build key fiber optic harnesses for LIS. The LIS Science Team gratefully acknowledges the productive science and operations collaborations between MSFC, UAH, STP, Universities Space Research Association (USRA), and the ISS Payload Operations Integration Center. ISS-LIS and STP-5 were launched to the ISS from Kennedy Space Center (KSC) after integration onto a SpaceX rocket. ISS LIS data are available from the GHRC DAAC via the Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) listed in the Blakeslee [2019a-d] references. Extensive user support services, including Python-based recipes to analyze ISS LIS data, are also available [GHRC , 2020]. Anonymous reviewers and Earle Williams are thanked for their comments and suggestions to improve the manuscript.
