CloudSat has transitioned to its operational mode. The radar is operating normally, which means it is providing weather data that is far more detailed and accurate than has ever been available before. Data is going to Colorado State University for scientific analysis. Quicklook data products are now posted at http://www.cloudsat.cira.colostate.edu/dpcstatusQL.php.
To find out where CloudSat is and where it will be for the next 16 days, check out this website:
