The Lightning Detection and Ranging (LDAR) system is located at the Kennedy Space Center. The center lat/long of the LDAR network is 28.5387 and -80.6428. All x, y, and z values represent distance (in meters) from this location. LDAR is a volumetric lightning mapping system providing near real-time location of lightning in support of Space Shuttle operations. It consists of seven antennas, microwave and land line communication between the outlying antennas and the central station, and a central processing facility located at the central station. Data are collected by Lincoln Labs and pushed to GHRC on a daily basis.
