Simulation depicts concept of 3-D Tomography of Earth's atmosphere using constellation of Cube-Satellites. The black dots depict receiver satellites, while red ones depict 32 GPS satellites. Green and pink lines depict ray path of signals passing from GPS satellites to the receiver satellites. By studying the distortion of these signals as they pass through the layers of atmosphere (shown by the shells around Earth) we can understand the space around Earth better.
