MARECS B

I was responsible for the design and manufacture of L-band power amplifiers for the MARECS communication satellite.

MARECS B was launched into Geosynchronous orbit by an Ariene launch vehicle and is in stationary orbit above the Pacific Ocean.

MARECS B followed MARECS A, the subject of the video above. I was proud to be part of the team that pioneered mobile communication systems.

My part of the design and manufacturing process was the development of MMIC modules, manufacture of Space hardware in a clean-room environment, testing and tuning, multipaction proving and team leadership.
