Testimonials from College Interns
Hear what college interns had to say about their Summer 2011 internship at Space Systems/Loral.

"My internship at Space Systems/Loral was the most fulfilling summer experience I've had in my college career. It's exciting to work for such a highly successful company, especially one that builds a very cool, high-tech product like satellites. Plus the people are friendly, the location is beautiful, and the compensation is unbeatable; the ultimate summer internship."
— Aidan Augustin (2011 Intern)

"As my first experience in the corporate work force, Space Systems/Loral was an unforgettable place to work. Every single employee I encountered was friendly and helpful at all times. Down to my last day, I never felt anything but welcome."
— Dahlia Williams (2011 Intern)

"In my time at Space Systems/Loral, I was encouraged to learn as much as possible about the products that the Repeater Subsystems Organization makes and how those products fit into each satellite. My exposure to SS/L as a company was equally broad; I learned a lot about the other organizations that comprise SS/L through a series of new hire seminars offered throughout the summer. These were crucial in understanding the role of each organization in the making of a satellite and provided information that I wouldn’t have otherwise been exposed to. My internship with SS/L gave me an opportunity to observe first-hand the day-to-day requirements of building a communications satellite. The work environment was conducive to learning, which helped me to make the most of my experience." 
— Kelton Gallant  (2011 Intern)
