An operations console for a fleet of high-altitude pseudo-satellites: solar-electric aircraft that circle above the weather for weeks or months and stand in for cell towers on the ground. The palette takes AALTO's night-navy stratosphere and puts a silver film-and-carbon wing on it.

It is a quiet interface. Flight tracks are thin, slow loops. Coverage shows up as hexagonal footprints. Endurance is counted in days. Most of the screen is left empty on purpose, the way the sky at 70,000 ft is empty.
