Artist’s concept illustration showing a gold-colored satellite at the center of the image with a black, star-filled background behind it. The Earth’s surface, blue and cloud-covered, fills the lower-left corner of the frame, from the center-left edge to the bottom-center of the frame. On the surface directly below the satellite, a spiral hurricane is visible. The satellite is shaped like a house with a peaked roof, viewed from an angle, with the pentagon-shaped front and left side side both facing the viewer. The satellite’s solar arrays form what looks like a very wide peaked roof atop the satellite, extending far beyond the side walls. Underneath the satellite, a silver cone-shaped instrument points down toward Earth. Another instrument on the front side, shaped like a silver frying pan, also faces toward Earth. In the upper right corner of the image is bright lens flare from the Sun, out of frame. · 点击图片查看原图查看原文全部插图（7 幅）
