The Lightning Instrument Package, or LIP, developed by Earth scientists and engineers at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, was designed to track and document lightning as hurricanes developed and intensified. Six of these unique instruments and their network interface boxes were installed on NASA’s remotely piloted Global Hawk for the Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes, or GRIP, hurricane study over the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean in August and September 2010.August 30, 2010
