00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:12,060
I've been at Goddard approximately 11 years. I've been on 

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,100
GPM for about 3 to 4 years. I

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,140
lead the quality assurance and the safety assurance team,

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,160
on GPM primarily for the instruments but

7
00:00:24,180 --> 00:00:28,190
I also have the role of that as well at the 

8
00:00:28,210 --> 00:00:32,240
launch site. When I first came on the project I was working with Ball

9
00:00:32,260 --> 00:00:36,250
Aerospace on getting the GMI assembled and 

10
00:00:36,270 --> 00:00:40,310
shipped over here to Goddard. We went to a manufacturer 

11
00:00:40,330 --> 00:00:44,420
to get the main reflector coded. We saw their were stripes 

12
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,430
along the face of the main reflector so we had to go 

13
00:00:48,450 --> 00:00:52,460
not only go back, and resurface it, but we actually had to remove 

14
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:56,510
that old surface to put on and prep it for a new surface.

15
00:00:56,530 --> 00:01:00,530
When it finally came out, and we finally saw it we were like 

16
00:01:00,550 --> 00:01:04,550
"wow!" It was a pristine coding, exactly 

17
00:01:04,570 --> 00:01:08,600
how we've seen it in the past in other projects on other

18
00:01:08,620 --> 00:01:12,610
dishes. And we were just ecstatic.

19
00:01:12,630 --> 00:01:16,640

00:01:16,660 --> 00:01:20,690

00:01:20,710 --> 00:01:24,710
