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.
