I thought that was you taking my picture! No hards! Note that I am smiling in that pic.

Glad you found some of it interesting. I Love my work as I'm sure you do too. The next to last pic was a two for one special. The small dish off to the left is for wide beamwidth acquisition of the satellite during launch transfer orbit. We use it to home in close enough until we lock on with the large dish.

I'm always sick to my stomach the first time one of our newly built systems is used during launch. Something about building the system responsible for losing someone elses 200 million dollar satellite.
