McBee Strategic Consulting (MSC), LLC, a leading government relations and strategic communications firm, today announced that aerospace and security policy veteranErin Nealwill join as an Executive Vice President in its advocacy unit later this month.
Neal spent twelve years in the aerospace industry prior to joining McBee, most recently as a director of government relations for Orbital ATK in support of the company's commercial, military, intelligence, and civil space programs. She also served as ATK Aerospace Systems' lead lobbyist. While at ATK, Erin led a successful effort on behalf of the entire U.S. satellite industry to reduce barriers to free trade, by modernizing antiquated export control regulations that had stymied this sector since the late 1990s. She came to ATK from Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., where she was a manager for government relations, serving as a business development liaison to NASA and NOAA headquarters, and a lobbyist to the hill for Ball's civilian and commercial programs.
Neal previously worked as a senior staffer to U.S. SenatorBill Nelson, supporting the Senator in his role on the Budget and Commerce Committees. She also served as a space and telecommunications policy analyst at the Congressional Research Service, was part of the Space Studies Board at the National Academy of Sciences, the Office of Space Science at NASA Headquarters, the Space Policy Institute at theGeorge Washington University, and in the offices for two Members of the House of Representatives.
"Erin's expertise in so many facets of aerospace policy will make her an incredible addition to our team," said MSC Managing Director and executive committee memberSam Whitehorn. "Her understanding of how industry and government can work together to develop new programs and policies in aerospace is unmatched."
"I'm excited to add my experience to McBee Strategic's already impressive team," Neal said. "MSC knows how to navigate the intersection of the public and private sectors for its clients like no one else inWashington."
Last year MSC, through an acquisition byWiley Rein, became an independent subsidiary of the law firm. Together, the two firms create aWashington, D.C.legal, advocacy and communications powerhouse providing sophisticated client services.

McBee Strategic Expands Leading Aerospace Practice with Addition of Erin Neal
The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission Core Satellite's Microwave Imager (GMI) built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. under contract for NASA has performed flawlessly in its first year on orbit as the most accurately calibrated radiometer in the twelve-satellite GPM constellation.
The NASA Precipitation Measurement X-Cal working group noted the radiometer's accuracy after analyzing GMI's performance during its first year of operation. GMI launchedFebruary 27, 2014aboard the joint NASA and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency Global Precipitation Measurement mission's Core Observatory. GMI provides a standard of calibration that will substantially improve the accuracy of the precipitation data measured by other radiometers in the constellation.
"The Ball GMI enhanced subsystems design enables excellent science data performance with calibration accuracy that is unparalleled," saidJim Oschmann, vice president and general manager of Ball's Civil Space and Technology business unit. "GMI incorporates lessons learned from other radiometers which have taken Earth science measurements from low and medium Earth orbits for the last 20 years."
The Ball Aerospace GMI engineering design features a radio frequency (RF) receiver subsystem that is highly temperature stable, including a shade that protects the instrument electronics from the sun's heat. This helps prevent high temperatures from compromising the calibration accuracy of the instrument. GMI also features two standard calibration points, one at the cold end of the temperature range and one at the high end. As GMI spins at 32 revolutions per minute, it continuously self-calibrates so it can accurately measure Earth's brightness temperatures. A special coating on GMI's main reflector collects and channels RF energy so that the high frequency channel data are not compromised. GMI is the first radiometer to use noise diodes at specific frequencies to provide a 4-point calibration system that enhances accuracy.
As an essential part of an international satellite mission, the Ball Aerospace GMI is capturing next-generation observations of rain and snow worldwide every three hours. The GPM Core Observatory is delivering unprecedented 3-D views of hurricanes and snowstorms and contributes to monitoring and forecasting weather events such as droughts, floods and landslides.
GMI is one example of Ball's long support of the country's weather observation and climate science. The GPM constellation includes the Ball Aerospace-builtSuomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership(NPP) satellite, which launched in 2011, and will include the firstJoint Polar Satellite System, currently in development at Ball meeting cost and schedule requirements. Both satellites enable faster, more accurate weather forecasting.
Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. supports critical missions for national agencies such as the Department of Defense, NASA, NOAA and other U.S. government and commercial entities.

The Ball Aerospace air quality sensor being built for the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) underSouth Korea'sNational Institute of Environmental Research in the Ministry of Environment has passed a major milestone toward its launch.
The Critical Design Review (CDR) was successfully completed for the Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS) in February. GEMS is a scanning ultraviolet-visible instrument designed to monitor trans-boundary pollution events for the Korean peninsula andAsia-Pacificregion. It will be the first air quality sensor in geostationary orbit.
"GEMS is an excellent example of how international collaboration can effectively improve quality of life," saidCary Ludtke, vice president and general manager of Ball's Operational Space business unit. "The successful completion of the CDR for this scientifically advanced instrument allows the program to move into the manufacturing, assembly, integration and testing phase with instrument completion expected in early 2017."
Ball engineers are working side by side with KARI engineers on the GEMS instrument in a recently completed cleanroom on Ball'sBouldercampus for GEMS assembly, integration and test activities.
The spectrometer provides high spatial and high temporal resolution measurements of ozone, its precursors and aerosols. Hourly measurements by GEMS will improve early warnings for potentially dangerous pollution events and monitor long-term climate change. GEMS is manifested on KARI's GEO-KOMPSAT-2B geostationary satellite.
The GEMS instrument is the Asian element of a global air quality monitoring constellation of geostationary satellites that includes the Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) spectrometer. Ball is the TEMPO instrument provider for NASA Langley Research Center and Harvard Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory on the Earth Venture program.
For more than 30 years, Ball Aerospace has been a recognized industry leader in developing advanced instruments, including spectrometers. Ball provided the Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite aboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership and is building a similar instrument for the Joint Polar Satellite System. Historically, Ball was the primary supplier of spectrometers for theHubble Space Telescopeincluding the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph, Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph and the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph.
