A-Train demonstrated how formation flying can create a virtual 2 satellite radar-lidar observatory. Matching footprints yielded important new products.

Iconic A-Train formation flying result CloudSat-CALIPSO AMSR-E Cloud and precipitation frequency (Fig. 7.4, Chapter 7 of IPCC AR5) and ice and water contents adding truly a new dimension this could not have been possible without the careful matching of footprints that resulted from formation flying.
