We report the first optical observations from space of a Medium-scale Traveling Ionospheric Disturbance (MSTID) of the Traveling Wave Packet type. The observations were made during the Combined Radio Interferometry and COSMIC Experiment in Tomography Campaign (CRICKET) held on September 15, 2007 at ~0830 UT. The experiment used a Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (COSMIC also known as FORMOSAT-3) satellite in conjunction with the Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope, located near Socorro, NM, to study the ionosphere from the global scale down to the regional scale while the TIDs propagated through it. The COSMIC/FORMOSAT-3 satellite measured the ionosphere both horizontally and with altitude while the VLA measured the directions and speed of the TIDs. Our observations provide new information on this poorly understood class of TID
