The American flag is reflected in optical solar reflectors on the fourth and final satellite that will be launched as part of the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s next-generation fleet of Earth-monitoring satellites. Four of these panels surround the
satellite’s body and help regulate its temperature by protecting it from the sun’s heat. The gold ring is where the satellite will connect
to the rocket that will launch it into space in 2024.
