A 3D rendering of the Polylingual Experimental Terminal (PExT) in low Earth orbit relaying data to another satellite. The PExT spacecraft is visible in the upper-left above Earth, its solar panels extended in an X-shape and its antenna dish angled to face the blurred silhouette of a relay satellite in the foreground. The silhouette dominates the right side of the image, its dual antennas aimed toward PExT as the satellites relay invisible data.
