Joseph Carberry, Boeing Lead Satellite Bus Engineer, sends the final commands to SVN-40, nicknamed "dough boy," to turn cease transmission operations. the 2nd Space Operations Squadron spent a week moving the satellite outside operational orbit where it will now remain and continue to be tracked. SVN-40 was originally launched in 1996 with an expected use time of seven and a half years. Nearly 20 years later, the satellite was removed from service due to an attitude control failure. Carberry was the lead engineer when SVN-40 was initially launched. (U.S. Air Force photo/Christopher DeWitt)
