Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS)

A constellation of small satellites that measures wind inside hurricanes.

The actual model file, as it will be printed. Drag to turn it.

CYGNSS reads GPS signals bouncing off the sea surface to work out wind speed underneath a storm's cloud, where instruments looking down from above cannot see.

Published by NASA in their 3D Resources collection, which they state is free of copyright. Printed to order — scaled to about 80 mm on its longest side, and resizeable on the next page.
