Hi, my name is Mark Fiebig. I am the propulsion
lead engineer for the GPM spacecraft. One of the interesting parts of
working on GPM has been the coordination with our
Japanese partners. Especially the propellant loading engineers that are
working with my team to load the propellant on the spacecraft and to do
high pressure testing at the Japanese launch site. We've developed a very
strong relationship with that group, sharing lessons learned from our work
and they've been sharing lessons learned from their work as well. It's been a very productive
relationship. It's been great working on GPM project, my propulsion team
is amazing, and they've been very dedicated the entire time.
and it hasn't been the easiest work with all the ups and downs.
The difficult technology development that we did over the past
five years, more than that, ten years.
Has been difficult but enjoyable and I think
everybody has done a great job.
