About the team
The Kuiper Equipment Group (KEG) performs preventative maintenance (PM) and repairs on the
equipment used to produce satellites. This prevents down time as well as damage to the
satellite and components and is an important step in keeping production flowing. The KEG
team strives to utilize time when the equipment is not needed for production to perform
PMs. If PMs are not performed regularly, the equipment may produce sub-quality
components.
