Satellite Constellation Concept Overhead

(My technical manager, the Project Scientist for NASA's TRMM Satellite Mission wanted a "thought piece" - a single page visual concept for using several "mini-TRMM" satellites in constellation to measure water amounts in the Earth's environmental system, that could be used for overhead presentations.  I came up with three approaches (above), one of which was still being used years later.  It's ironic that this particular visualization was the most scientifically incorrect... on purpose... more later)
