my name is Marlon Enciso, I am the spacecraft integration and test manager.
I've been with the project since 2008 on a part-time basis and then in 2010, I
worked full-time on a project as the integration and test manager. The biggest
challenge that I personally encountered on the project as the spacecraft
integration and test lead is that TDRS is a series of spacecraft and
you have several spacecraft going on in different phases of development in
particular when K was going through its launch in early orbit operations
TDRS L was going through integration and tests and it was a little bit
challenging to juggle personnel to cover all the different activities that are
going on. Everybody works together well when we're out on travel we we do
socialize it helps us work together as a team we form a relationship as good
friends and basically one family. I feel honored to be part of this team to work
on a program or for a long time like I have on this one for almost nine years
and and feel valued with my contributions to the project I'm proud
that I was part of the team.
