Satellite Manufacturing
I work as the Senior Technical Illustrator at a satellite and spacecraft manufacturer called Maxar in Palo Alto, CA. You probably have seen many of the satellites and spacecraft I have worked on in the news or have been launched by SpaceX and other launch providers (you can see some of what I have done that is publicly available at www.stevenwhoward.com). Most of the earth images you see in the news are provided by Maxar spacecraft. I have literally drawn and animated thousands of satellite and spacecraft drawings and videos these past 8+ years for commercial customers, to NASA, and others.
I have been extra busy supporting my team and am thankful I have a job and can work from home during these days. Some of my own teammates have to still work on site like @german_buenrostro_photography and I want to thank them for the hard work they are doing and for all the extra precautions they have to take each day to remain healthy and safe and keep the rest of our team safe. Our business not only deals with commercial spacecraft but we also support government spacecraft so our business is considered essential during these times.
Using what Lego I had at home I made a small geo satellite and a mini-fig scale earth-observation spacecraft on a dolly being tested, both similar to the satellites we manufacture.
Our company @maxartechnologies works hard to keep many of the services you enjoy that rely on spacecraft going. A special thanks to all of you at Maxar, NASA, JPL, and other space businesses for keeping up the hard work during these trying times.
