Abstract
A program is described for characterizing the atmosphere as it affects optical communications from a spacecraft. Cloud cover patterns and optical transmission will be determined by setting up three automated observatories in the Southwestern United States. Methods of site selection and operation of hardware and software components are presented, as well as plans for term deployment.
