Looks nice, but does it really need to or is this part of an actual feature to make the satellite function better?

It would seem the sleek design is engineered to account for the abnormalities in the earth gravitational pull. So the design will keep it in this very low orbit with out falling.

Gravity satellite feels the force

Europe's Goce satellite switches on the super-sensitive instrument that will make ultra-fine measurements of Earth's gravity. Ref. Source 3

I think we will get some very valuable information here. Perhaps even being able to sense volcanic or other under ground activity. That is a very sensitive sensor!

I believe the information that this satellite tells us will help us in understanding more about our world. It will also help us when we make it to other worlds and help us ;pick a good stable sight for the first base on that planet.

That is a good point as a large land mass will likely have similar traits if close to the same mass and distance from a star. Projection likely could be made to account for a large mass or being a different distance from the sun.
