Valley Forge Intern Day By Nancy Ibarra
Lockheed Martin truly is made up of rocket scientists. The tour of the Valley Forge
facility on June 22nd
introduced the interns to some classified environments within Val-
ley Forge – and here I thought we were just an office building! The hangers that once
held construction for satellites now house the Hypersonic Technology Vehicle (HTV)
project. Commonly known as the DARPA funded Falcon project, Bruno and Mary Beth
(engineers who provided us with the tour) explained the design for this project is to
land on target anywhere in the world within one hour of launch. However, detonation is
arguably the easiest aspect of this high tech bomb. Everything from the carbon shell
material to the electronic sensors help keep the cargo at room temperature, safe from
unplanned temperature detonation. All the while, the Falcon is completely automated.
Engineers must input the calculated time the Falcon will be just above the ground to
achieve successful impact. Once this missile is launched, the device can no longer be
controlled – or as Bruno puts it “set it and forget it”.
These incredible advances in hypersonic and control system considerations would not
be possible without the company infrastructure that provides the necessary tools to the
LM workforce. As our executive speaker Linda Butler explained, EO supplies neces-
sary company infrastructure from STARS maintenance to health works to data storage
for the MST, MFC, SSC, Aero, and IS&GS business units to provide for their custom-
ers. Being with the company for about 30 years, Linda Butler is one of the many valua-
ble resources LM provides to us interns – real experience we can consult and look to
for guidance.

Time...
1962: John Glenn Or-
bits the Earth
John Glenn is the first
American to orbit the
Earth - in a Mercury cap-
sule launched by an Atlas
rocket built by the herit-
age Convair Division of
General Dynamics. The
Atlas team wins a
Collier Trophy in
1959.
1962: Space Race
Heritage companies
GE Aerospace, Ford
Aerospace and
Sanders, among oth-
ers, are all part of
NASA’s race to
reach the Moon. GE Aer-
ospace supplies equip-
ment and software for
Apollo Mission Control.
Ford Aerospace helps
build the Mission Control
Center at the Johnson
Space Center in Houston.
Sanders is later sched-
uled to provide the infor-
mation display system
used for the launch of
Saturn V vehicles.
1964: First Air Traffic
Control Computers
The first air traffic control
computers are heritage
IBM Federal Systems/
Unisys. Lockheed Martin
is still a leader in the in-
dustry.

Favorite Quote: “Every set back leads to a comeback”
Describe a typical day: Working as an intern at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics in Fort Worth,
there is no typical day for me. Every day I learn more and more about audio/video confer-
ence calls, mobile services, digital signage, telephone operations and much more in the
Telecommunications group I support. I work closely alongside my team lead and help him
with his tasks. The team has been very supportive with task assignments. When I am not
out in the field setting up an audio video conference call, I am doing inventory on confer-
ence rooms scattered across the facility, setting up employees’ voicemails through the site
administration or troubleshooting problems on an iOS device. I recently assisted the audio
technician at Israel’s F-35 Rollout. What an amazing experience and an event like no other
I have seen! The work I do is here is literally indescribable, so you would have to see me in
action to really know exactly what I do.
Describe a current project and your role: A current project that I am working on is the distri-
bution of mobile phones for the IAM Contract Negotiation. The IAM Contract Negotiation
will be affecting over 3500 contract employees. Should the negotiation be unsuccessful, I
will deploy up to 20 loaner cellphones to assist with on-site security requirements. Rovers
and observation tower teams will use the loaner phones for communications during a strike.
I am also coordinating the disconnection of over 200 cellular and pager devices. I have de-
signed the loaner checkout and return process for this event and coordinated a final deploy-
ment date with the program point of contact. I will also be acting as backup to the mobile
lead as needed after July 11.
