A core part of my work in Spacecraft is designing Stars. Meaning, I make satellites. In the space industry, we call satellites "Stars", and a fleet or family of satellites "Constellations". My team and I designed the radio frequency electronics (RFU) for the Enhanced Polar System (EPS) satellite. EPS provides continuous EHF (Extremely High Frequency) coverage for the northern polar region of Earth in service to the US Space Force. Explore EPS

EPS also works in conjunction with the Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) constellation operated by the Space Force. AEHF-6 recently launched, completing the 6-satellite fleet enabling continuous global coverage for the US-led joint military alliance.

Design Evolution: Lockheed Martin is using 3-D Printed Parts for U.S. Military Satellites

When the U.S. Air Force‘s sixth Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF-6) satellite launches into space, a 3-D printed part will be along for the ride. A Remote Interface Unit, an aluminum electronic enclosure designed to hold avionic circuits, will be the first 3-D printed part certified for use on a Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) military satellite.
