A 3D rendering of the Polylingual Experimental Terminal (PExT) satellite viewed at a three-quarter angle in low Earth orbit. The spacecraft’s white parabolic antenna dish is pointed to the upper-right, and its four deep teal solar arrays extend outward to form an X-shape. Earth is partially visible across the lower edge of the frame, the curve of its horizon illuminated by a flare of bright sunlight.
