They are displaced from each other at a specific distance to produce either varied viewing angles of one target or to view a target at different times. Trailing satellites are especially suited for meteorological and environmental applications such as viewing the progress of a fire, cloud formations, and making 3D views of hurricanes. Notable pairs are Landsat 7 with EO 1 see http eo1.gsfc.nasa.gov , CALIPSO with CloudSat , and Terra satellite Terra with Aqua satellite Aqua .
