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
(rain drops)

00:01:16.660 --> 00:01:20.690

00:01:20.710 --> 00:01:24.710

00:01:24.730 --> 00:01:28.730
