3, 2, 1 -- Lift off!

In case you are wondering what I have been doing at work lately... here is a clue:

At 8:22pm the first of these satellites lifted off out at the Cape. I am on the team dealing with our part for the next 3 of them. We build the little antenna's hanging off of the side of the satellite. Neat!

Here is some basic background info on the program: http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/americas-wideband-gapfiller-satellite-program-02733/

And here is a thread that tells all about the launch: http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=9971&start=1
