Hugh Pickens Projects Page

Some of the projects that our engineering group has recently executed.

GRTS
The TDRS Ground Terminal in Canberra, Australia that closed the ZOE - the zone of exclusion. Fairbanks
Three 13-meter autonomous antennas in Fairbanks, Alaska to track NOAA's Polar weather satellites. MTRS - 1
An Antarctic TDRS ground terminal at McMurdo to relay science data.

Fuse - 1 - 2
A LeoT autonomous ground station in Puerto Rico to support the FUSE spacecraft. ROCSAT - 1
A satellite control center for the Republic of China's first LEO satellite. Landsat
The next generation Landsat Ground Station in Sioux Falls, SD.

GRGT - 1 - 2
Building on the success of GRTS, another TDRS ground station in Guam. Meteosat
The upgrade to NOAA Wallops to support Meteosat spacecraft. LeoT - 1
A fully autonomous ground terminal to support LEO spacecraft.

X-Band Acq Aid
A monopole feed for acquiring Deep Space Missions. S/C Transceivers
Digital transceivers for FAISAT spacecraft. South Pole - 1
Com equipment for NSF's new South Pole Station.

MW Holography
Measuring and correcting aberrations in large satellite antennas. TASS
Tactical Security Systems at bases in the Middle East. High Rate Mods
High Rate BPSK/QPSK modulators for S, X and Ku-Band frequencies.

Program Execution
Strategy is easy - Execution is hard work. South Pole TDRS - 1
A TDRS Ground Terminal at the South Pole. What we look for
...in an engineer.
