We Are Doing It By Robert Bell
Rosie the Riveter is an iconic American image dating from the Second World War. The pressure of that terrible emergency temporarily suspended the roles that men and women had played for centuries. There were too few men to staff the factories that made the complex equipment and weaponry of war, so the nation turned to women to fill their ranks. For many, it was a first taste of the pride that comes from drawing a salary and doing a difficult job well. Rosie’s face is a study in that rightful pride, which is what makes it so arresting. But what is she doing on the cover of The Orbiter this month – wearing a Better Satellite World button and a satellite tattoo? Sign of the Times For the second time in the past four years, all three winners of the annual Promise Awards are young women. The awards go to employees age 35 and under who have been nominated by their companies as future leaders of the industry based on the remarkable things they have already accomplished. It is no accident. It’s a trend. On average, three-quarters of winners from 2013 to 2016 have been women, compared with only one-quarter in the prior four years. In a business where 85% of the workforce is male, according to our most recent workforce study, the Promise Awards point toward a different future. Women once predominated in marketing, government relations, human resources and similar “relationship” jobs, but 70 percent of the female Promise Winners since 2013 have been engineers. What does it mean? It means that the companies in our industry are getting smarter about spotting talent, regardless of the package it comes in. Not only are they spotting it, they are actively giving talented people challenges that fully engage them and help bind them to the organization’s mission. Those are two recipes for long-term success. Why It Matters I am proud of something else. We received a large number of nominations from both the US and Europe this year. It made the choice particularly difficult, and the three winners represent the most outstanding of an extraordinary group – so extraordinary that we have decided to honor each of them in pages of The Orbiter through this year and into the next. You need to know about them, and they deserve to be recognized for their stand-out performance. Awards are fun. We all enjoy them. But for SSPI, they serve two serious purposes. First, the Promise Awards recognize and honor people who too often go unregarded because they have not yet built relationships over decades. I know from talking to Promise Award winners what an impact it has on their lives and careers. We also need to learn from them. They are people who move mountains for a living, despite lacking seniority or high title within their companies. They can show each of us how to move a few mountains ourselves for the good of our careers, our organizations and the industry. That is why we interview them in writing and on video each year – so that their testimony can teach us how to be better at what we do. I hope you will join us on November 9 in New York City to honor and learn from our Promise Award winners and the 2016 Mentor of the Year. More at www.satfuture.com.

Introducing the 2016 Promise Award Winners Every year, SSPI presents three young satellite professionals with its Promise Award in recognition of their potential to play a leadership role in the industry. Promise Award winners have demonstrated initiative, creativity and problem-solving skills that made a positive impact on their company’s performance.
DR. JENNIFER DAWSON
Director, Marketing & Sales, Space Systems Loral (SSL) Before joining the company, Jennifer was a researcher at Stanford University, where she developed a cryogenic test facility, conducted experiments on a superconducting position sensor, defined requirements, and fabricated and tested customized electrical connectors. While at Stanford, Jennifer received a NASA Group Achievement Award in 2005 for her work on the Gravity Probe B relativity gyroscope experiment developed by NASA and the university. After finishing her PhD, she went on to teach for two years at York College in Pennsylvania. Jennifer joined SSL in 2010 as a Senior Spacecraft Systems Engineer. In that position, she performed critical analysis of satellite design and led teams in design, test, and anomaly resolution. In particular, she led the mechanical design and environmental accommodation team for a NASA-hosted payload. In 2012, Jennifer became the Chair of SSL’s Shock Committee. The Committee defines company-wide shock qualification requirements and oversees design and test for shock caused by the extreme environment that a satellite has to withstand at launch. As Chair, she redefined the company’s qualification requirements, simplifying them and eliminating over specification. Jennifer became Product Assurance Program Manager in 2015 and was one of the youngest employees at SSL to ever take on this position. In this role, she led the mission assurance team for one of SSL’s satellites to ensure spacecraft quality and reliability. She oversaw all analysis, design, integration, and testing, and helped the customer directly with their own oversight. In September 2016 Jennifer assumed her current role as Director of Marketing and Sales, where she channels her technical and customer-focused experience into helping satellite operators develop systems that strengthen their businesses. Her experience as a teacher and researcher has helped Jennifer drive SSL to establish new technical standards and to educate her colleagues in putting these new practices into place. She is known for looking beyond established practices for solutions to problems and is always offering fresh approaches and ideas when confronted with a challenge. According to Senior Vice President of Program Management David Bernstein, Jennifer is “dedicated to doing things the right way” and “explains things very well and is always open to teaching what she knows.” She excels at managing and training others both inside and outside the company and is currently mentoring students through both Bucknell University and Stanford University.

PASCALE DUMIT
Manager of Spectrum Management and Development for the Americas, SES Pascale began her career in the satellite industry in 2005 at Hughes, where she designed and commissioned broadband satellite networks in Africa and the Americas. Pascale went on to work as a consultant at ITT Exelis (now the Harris Corporation) where she supported NASA as well as the Department of Defense on a broad range of international spectrum management issues and contributed to the overall development and implementation of strategy in national and international spectrum regulatory environments. As a Manager of Spectrum Management and Development at SES, Pascale manages spectrum matters both at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and is responsible for the development and protection of spectrum assets for select SES projects over the Americas. She is currently leading all domestic and international spectrum-related activities, including coordination and licensing for SES-15, a new high throughput satellite to be launched in 2017 and expected to serve SES’s leading aeronautical customers and other traffic intensive data applications such as government, VSAT networks and maritime. Throughout her career, Pascale has demonstrated a natural leadership as well as an inherent ability to bring together various parties and drive collaboration among them to achieve successful results. According to Kimberly Baum, Vice President of Spectrum Management and Development for the Americas and Pascale’s manager, she regularly has “government representatives request that Pascale attend their meetings; they know she is the most reliable, effective advocate they could have to achieve the US’s objectives at any given meeting.” In a particularly exemplary display of coordination and leadership, Pascale was instrumental in coordinating efforts among the satellite industry representatives at the international meetings leading up to the ITU World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-15) and led major advocacy efforts that resulted in the protection of existing spectrum for SES’s customers and regulatory certainty for the industry. In addition to her many achievements at SES, Pascale is an active member of her community. For the last 10+ years, she has consistently dedicated herself to helping other engineers succeed. Pascale was recently recognized by her alma mater, George Washington University, for her service to the university community and received the university’s 2016 Alumni Outstanding Service Award. She served as Chair of the Engineering Alumni Association (GW EAA) from 2013 to 2015, and held several other positions within the GW EAA in previous years. Pascale remains involved in the GW EAA to this day.
ERIN FELLER
Advanced Government Space Systems Project Manager, Boeing Network & Space Systems During her time at Boeing, Erin has led space and ground architecture studies aimed at revolutionizing the future of the industry. She has consistently demonstrated her strong communication and leadership skills both within the company and with government customers. According to her direct manager, Matt Richards, Erin “is regularly sought after within the Boeing satellite business as one of the top proposal leads” and he has been “approached by Boeing executives across government and commercial satellite systems organizations requesting Ms. Feller by name to support their highest priority new business campaigns.”

The Orbiter October 2016
Early in her career at Boeing, Erin was instrumental in establishing the Concurrent Integrated Engineering Laboratory (CIEL), used for rapid satellite design development at the Boeing Satellite Design Center. Using the experience and insight she gained from working on the CIEL, she went on to perform many design to cost exercises for the development of commercial-like concepts for military satellite communications spacecraft. Erin has led several critical programs at Boeing, recently including one of the company’s largest business orders for 2016. Erin is also spearheading an effort to develop new commercial-like offerings for international partners on military satellite communications (MILSATCOM). As part of this effort, she led the team in developing three different technical spacecraft offerings as well as business strategy. In addition to her technical, leadership, project management, and business skills, Erin brings energy, creativity and focus to the greater satellite enterprise, and she is known for inspiring the same in others who work with her. She has consistently developed innovative teams as a leader at Boeing, teams that her customers acknowledge as focused and efficient. Erin has been selected for Boeing’s Emerging Leader Development Program and hopes to take on more leadership roles and responsibility in the future. Beyond her many achievements, Erin has consistently worked to help other engineering students beginning during her days as one of them. While working on her Mechanical Engineering degree at the University of Nebraska, she spent two years as a resident assistant and leading recruiting and social activities in the engineering department as an Engineering Ambassador.

And the 2016 Mentor of the Year Every year, SSPI also presents a Mentor Award to an executive who is recognized for fostering young talent, both within his or her own organization and throughout the industry.
DAVID MYERS
President & CEO, DataPath, Inc. As President & CEO of DataPath, David Myers is leading a renewed, privately-owned company that emerged after a spin-out from publically traded Rockwell Collins. Over the past two plus years, the revitalized DataPath has developed an array of new offerings, including satellite antenna systems, remote management software, connectivity services and cyber security solutions. These investments are fueling an overall strategy to provide end-to-end communications solutions for the aerospace, broadcast, defense and infrastructure markets. To date, the reinvestment in DataPath has resulted in over $400M in new contract awards. Prior to joining DataPath, David held a number of senior level positions across the satellite industry, developing brands, launching new products and entering new markets. David spent several years at Harris CapRock (formerly CapRock Communications), as Vice President of Marketing & Product Management, President of Government Solutions, and ultimately Chief Commercial Officer. One of his most proud accomplishments was the development of “CommandAccess®,” the industry’s first military-grade satellite subscription service. David also previously served as Chief Marketing Officer for ITC Global, where he expanded the company’s market presence from a relative unknown to among the top three brands in the oil & gas and mining markets. David first entered the satellite industry at Spacenet, where he worked his way up from business development and product management roles to eventually serve as the company’s Senior Vice President of Marketing & Corporate Development. In addition to product and market innovation, David believes the core foundation for any successful company is a highly collaborative culture. The key is encouraging initiative and creativity from every employee, regardless of title or tenure. To foster this culture, David regularly walks the factory floor and holds skip level lunch meetings, so he can hear first-hand what “real people” think about their jobs and how the company is doing. These live interactions often result in a new idea for a product or process. David’s favorite approach is to empower the person who championed the idea to build a task force and “make it happen.” In a manager’s meeting shortly after taking over as CEO, David remarked, “Rapidly growing organizations must be dynamic. You don’t necessarily need to have all the right players in all the right positions, right away. Making a team successful is about recruiting great all-around athletes and then helping them find something to own, where they can apply their talents and passion to drive the company’s performance.” When notified about his selection for the SSPI Mentor of the Year award, David said, “I consider myself a life-long student of the industry and fortunate to have worked with and learned from some amazing people. I am a true believer in the SSPI mission to encourage new talent to build impactful careers in the exciting and dynamic industry that is satellite communications.” The Orbiter October 2016

How They Got Here
A Conversation with the Promise Award Winners All of SSPI’s Promise Award winners have demonstrated the talent and motivation to become future leaders of the satellite industry. But how did they get where they are today? We asked the 2016 winners to share their beginnings.
What led you into a career in the satellite industry? Dr. Jennifer Dawson: There are no engineers in my family, so I was first inspired to pursue STEM by my fantastic 8th grade science teacher, Mr. Wedeking. He gave us design projects as homework assignments and spent hours after school teaching me programming. In 9th grade I saw the movie Apollo 13 and I was particularly struck by the line about designing an air filter that went, “We have to make this, fit into the hole for this, using nothing but that.” I thought that sounded like an amazing job and I decided to pursue engineering, specifically to work in space technology. I was a little naive about what engineering really involved when I started, but I love where my studies have taken me. Pascale Dumit: I was interested in working in a global context on infrastructure-related issues that transcended geographical boundaries. I became interested in the satellite industry while at the George Washington University, as I saw it could offer the perfect combination of technology, regulations, diplomacy and international relations. It’s about layering the technical matters with the “softer” skills of stakeholder engagements and negotiations. And that, for me, is a perfect fit. Erin Feller: I have been captivated by space since I saw the movie Apollo 13 as an eight year old. Fascination with our final frontier stuck with me throughout elementary and high school, ultimately driving my decision to study engineering. Internships at NASA and a graduate degree from the International Space University expanded my knowledge of and interest in space and satellites. Since joining Boeing Satellite Systems six years ago, I’ve had opportunities to leave the industry, but I have yet to find anything that captures my imagination the way space does.
You have achieved a great deal in a short time in the business. What combination of opportunity and action on your part made that possible? Jennifer: Solid engineering fundamentals have enabled me to earn the trust and respect of my colleagues. The supportive faculty at Bucknell University and the school’s hands-on, lab-based curriculum provided me with a very solid technical foundation. My satellite-based research at Stanford broadened my skills and honed my analytical rigor. While engineering skills were necessary for success, my career advancement has been driven by my network of colleagues and my exceptional mentors. Heavily investing in my professional relationships has opened up doors, helped me to make strategic career decisions, taught me resiliency, and given me the confidence to take on new challenges. Pascale: I think, for me at least, what has been helpful is having had the foundational engineering background coming into the industry. But it’s also very much a combination of persistence, looking for opportunities to be fully engaged in the industry, and being at the right place, at the right time. I think there’s also a little bit of luck in there. Erin: Thank you! It’s been a fun ride so far. In my opinion there are three keys to my career progression. The first is I’m always willing to jump in, roll up my sleeves, and get the work done, no matter how small the task. The second is I’ve learned to say “yes” (loud and emphatically) to new opportunities, especially stretch assignments that take me out of my comfort zone. And finally, a number formal and informal leaders deserve credit for mentoring me and providing advocacy on my behalf over the years. I would not have achieved what I have without their support.

Where Are They Now?
A Conversation with Past Promise Award Winners The Promise Awards honor young professionals with the capacity to thrive and one day lead the industry. But what impact (if any) does winning the Award have on the honorees and their futures? We spoke to two past Promise Award winners: Arnie Christianson and Stefano Poli. Arnie Christianson won a Promise Award in 2007 while working as an operations manager for CNN Satellites & Transmissions. He had a transformative impact on the way CNN gathers the news, developing a revolutionary digital newsgathering (DNG) system that made possible both live and recorded video reporting at standard broadband speeds. Stefano Poli won a Promise Award in 2009 while working as a sales manager at Thales Alenia Space. An Italian citizen educated in the USA, he consistently demonstrated technical competence and marketing savvy, and at the time he received his Promise Award, played a central role in leading the company’s bidding activities including strategy development and bid management.
Where are you now in your career? Arnie: I’m currently Sr. Program Manager for SES Data Mobility. This is an exciting role in which my team of project management engineers and I manage the implementation of SES’s aeronautical, maritime, oil and gas, and land mobile products. The satellite industry is embracing mobility - as well it should as it shows massive growth in the coming years. This role allows me to be at the forefront of numerous evolving satellite technologies, from the satellite design itself to advanced antenna systems to cutting edge new TDMA/data transmission technologies. It also allows me to work with interesting clients in the airline, energy, and shipping industries as well as launch providers. Stefano: I have worked for more than a decade in the manufacturing side of the Industry until 2013. Then I joined Inmarsat to support the Global Xpress deployment where I had responsibility covering Business Development and Market Access. This year I moved into the Corporate Strategy and Business Development Department of Inmarsat, reporting directly to the Chief Strategy Officer.
What impact did winning a Promise Award have on you and your path? Arnie: Since I received the award primarily for my work in the development of what was, at the time, relatively unknown and unproven data mobility and video transmission technologies, I feel it brought me in contact with that sector of the industry working on similar technologies. I don’t think I could have made the jump from a satellite NOC environment to a program development and engineering department without the exposure I received through winning the Promise Award. It also ignited my interest in SSPI in general and I have been involved with the group in one capacity or another ever since. Stefano: I would not say it had a direct impact, but it definitely gave me visibility, some networking opportunity and it build my confidence; all of which contributed indirectly to the development of my career.

Making an Impact By Clayton Mowry
In April 2010 my good friend Ben asked me to meet a young professional named Ariane Cornell who had taken a position running the Vienna, Austria based Space Generation Advisory Council. SGAC is a global non-profit representing university students and young space professionals with permanent observer status to the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space. Ben had recommended me as a candidate for SGAC’s advisory board. I was skeptical that I would be interested in a board position with a U.N.-focused organization as their focus was beyond the scope of my work in commercial satellite industry. Nevertheless, I agreed to meet his friend Ariane at the Space Symposium in Colorado Springs. It turned out that fateful first meeting had a major impact on both Ariane’s career and my own. After meeting this impressive young woman and hearing her pitch about SGAC’s broad engagement in advancing the next generation of space professionals, I agree to serve on the advisory board. My board engagement allowed me to witness Ariane in action and offer my advice across a range of activities from organizational structure, personnel management, fundraising, partnerships and conference organizing. Ariane did a fantastic job growing the organization and launching it into new partnerships. Along the way she sought my help on career advancement, ultimately deciding to pursue an MBA. I happily agreed to provide references to several of the toptier schools where she applied. She was accepted to Harvard and kept in touch with me during her two years in Cambridge, inviting me to speak at a Space Conference she organized for HBS and other Boston-based university students. I offered her a summer internship but she found an even better one at Sierra Nevada Corp. helping them build a global engagement strategy for their Dream Chaser spacecraft program. Upon graduation, I agreed, without hesitation, to again serve as a reference as she returned to work in the space industry. Ariane landed a great business development position with Blue Origin where she is currently working to build their suborbital human spaceflight business aboard the New Shepard launch system. About two years into the job she encouraged me to look at a senior sales and marketing position with Blue Origin. She advised me throughout the recruiting process telling me about her experiences working for the dynamic and fast growing launch company. After a few months of discussion, a successful interview and offer, I’m now excited to be working alongside Ariane at Blue Origin on their New Glenn orbital launch program. My experience working with Ariane illustrates that mentoring relationships have real and lasting benefits for both seasoned and new generation professionals. And you never know, mentoring could help land you a plumb job someday! Clayton Mowry is with Sales, Marketing & Experience at Blue Origin and was SSPI’s 2013 Mentor of the Year. In a career bridging government, the nonprofit sector and the launch business, he has developed a reputation as a trusted and capable leader as well as an approachable and supportive mentor for the next generation.

The Mentor Spirit
Remembering Randy Tabor As we prepare to celebrate leaders both present and future at the dinner on November 9, we would like to take a moment to honor Walter “Randy” Tabor. Randy, who passed away on July 10, 2016, was a friend and source of constant inspiration to many members of the SSPI Southeast Chapter. Randy began his career, and his path as a mentor, in the United States Army, where he attended the Satcom school and graduated second in his class. While studying at Fort Gordon in Georgia, he helped a fellow soldier study in the library during every break they had. After their Army days, Randy once again came through for his friend, this time by helping him get a job with the American Satellite Company and tutoring him in the knowledge he would need for a challenging position. “Everyone I know always said the same thing,” said his friend. “Randy would stop what he was doing and help and he never made anyone feel inadequate or uneasy about asking for help. He was always glad to help and always took the time to do it.” After his service in the Army, Randy went on to be a valuable asset to multiple companies in the industry. He worked for ASC Contel before moving on to PanAmSat and becoming a major player in its Network Engineering department. As an engineer at PanAmSat, Randy worked tirelessly on the company’s streaming network Net36. He reenlisted in the Army Reserves after 9/11 and was deployed to Kuwait for a year in 2002. Upon returning to the private sector, he worked in sales at Intelsat before completing the final chapter of his career at Telesat. In both sales positions, Randy described his primary motivation as helping get soldiers on the ground what they needed. As an engineer, Randy was always thinking “outside the box,” a brand of thinking he applied to his hobbies as well. His friends describe him as an avid NASCAR fan, who would often share his plans for building and running his own Winston Cup team, complete with improvements to fuel pipes in the cars. “If you had the pleasure of working with Randy and knowing him,” said one of his colleagues, who first met him at PanAmSat, “you know he always had a smile on his face, and I don’t think a couple of sentences ever left his mouth without either a joke or some ‘banter’ being part of the payload. I can tell you that it was a true privilege to have been able to know him, and one trait that stands out from the way he approached life, and that we can all appreciate and should emulate, is Randy’s passion.”
