Hi, my name is Mark Fiebig. I am the propulsion

4
00:00:12,060 --> 00:00:16,080
lead engineer for the GPM spacecraft. One of the interesting parts of

5
00:00:16,100 --> 00:00:20,110
working on GPM has been the coordination with our

6
00:00:20,130 --> 00:00:24,120
Japanese partners. Especially the propellant loading engineers that are

7
00:00:24,140 --> 00:00:28,150
working with my team to load the propellant on the spacecraft and to do

8
00:00:28,170 --> 00:00:32,190
high pressure testing at the Japanese launch site. We've developed a very

9
00:00:32,210 --> 00:00:36,270
strong relationship with that group, sharing lessons learned from our work

10
00:00:36,290 --> 00:00:40,300
and they've been sharing lessons learned from their work as well. It's been a very productive

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,320
relationship. It's been great working on GPM project, my propulsion team

12
00:00:44,340 --> 00:00:48,370
is amazing, and they've been very dedicated the entire time.

13
00:00:48,390 --> 00:00:52,380
and it hasn't been the easiest work with all the ups and downs.

14
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,400
The difficult technology development that we did over the past

15
00:00:56,420 --> 00:01:00,450
five years, more than that, ten years.

16
00:01:00,470 --> 00:01:04,460
Has been difficult but enjoyable and I think

17
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,490
everybody has done a great job.
