Franklyn started his Aerospace career after graduating from California State University Long Beach in 1981 with a Bachelor of Science: Industrial Engineering and Technology: Electronics Option. He also has an Associates in Science in Electronics from Southwestern Community College from Chula Vista, Ca. During those years at Rockwell International – Autonetics Division, he worked numerous space-rated programs such as the Global Positioning Satellite (GPS), Space Shuttle, Sensor Arrays, weather satellites and special programs as a Quality Engineer (QE) and Inspection Supervisor. He continued to support space-rated program after the Boeing Acquisition of Rockwell in 1996 at the Seal Beach Division. During the support of the Shuttle Program, he worked approximately 85% of the missions, with hardware related programs such as the Communication Interface Electronics (CIE), Master Events Controller (MEC), Flight Acceleration Cut off System (FASCOs), the Robotic Arm, Tile replacement work, the Russian Space Station Interface Ring, the 17 inch Oxygen and Hydrogen Disconnect Valves for the External Tank at a major subcontractor as the Site QE, Palmdale work on the Endeavor, special programs and some payloads launched from the shuttles. He had also assisted in part of Discovery’s last launch and was there when it returned.
His Space Station experience was with the Z-One Truss Assembly, upgraded and balanced for its Center of Gravity in Downey, Ca from Washington state. He was involved with special payload moves from the Seal Beach facility to the Joint Air Base for transport on C-17s as well as payload moves from the El Segundo facility to LAX on C-17s. The Russian interface ring required him to interact with Russian liaisons on the Ring’s workmanship and materials on the “US/Shuttle side”. After the completion of the Shuttle program, he was assigned to Special Programs under Major Subcontracts working areas including Launch support still working within the Shuttle Vehicle Integration Facility (VIF) at the Cape and Shuttle landing strip.
