Brett's job update


Well, I just finished a 4-month tour of duty working on an antenna for the new Mobile Satellite Ventures satellites which are to provide satellite-based mobile phone coverage with typical cell-phone sized units. You can check out a picture or video. The 1.5m reflector (and the whole satellite for that matter) looks wimpy compared to the 22m reflector which is being built by another company. Previously, we've never flown any reflector larger than 12m. So, now I'm back to new business juggling a half-dozen proposals at once but I enjoy it.
