Packaging and Deployment of Boeing Satellites with Engineer Keith Watts
How do you send satellites into space? Boeing engineer, Keith Watts, helps make sure satellites can be packed as small as possible or expanded out, depending on what is needed. Keith has to think about all the different sizes and configurations that the satellite will have to be, known as dynamic constraints. The satellite Keith builds has to be small enough to fit into the nose of the rocket to send into space. But once in space, the satellite leaves the rocket and has to find its own power source, the sun! The satellite must deploy giant solar arrays to get energy from the sun, as well as its antennae to send and receive messages.
