President and CEO of Orbital, Mike has 25 years experience in the satellite industry going back to the 'Wild West', installing some of the first satellite and mini-cable systems in camps in the backwaters of British Columbia.  Mike, with Norsat's founding president, helped to take Norsat public, and was it's first VP Marketing.  He led the development of the world's first all GaAsFET LNA.  Mike is responsible for the design and manufacture of much of Orbital's custom satellite products.

Brian Murray has designed and constructed microwave communications equipment since 1978.  He worked on satellite programs such as the North Warning communications system, BC Tel's Spacetel, and on COSPAS/SARSAT rescue beacons.  He holds two US patents in the field of Phase-Locked Loops.  He is also the designer of the 'Murray' style floating pin connector system.

Jason Pollett has worked in electronic production and testing for the last 15 years.  He’s completed telecommunications programs at both the technician and engineering technologist levels and has been soldering since the age of twelve.  His first position in the field was performing touch up and final assembly of various electronic products. In the years that followed he became even more familiar with electronics production having worked in assembly, test, and on automated SMT lines. Then moving into quality assurance, he began the formation and writing of production procedures and documentation, working to obtain ISO 9002 certification in electronics production. Having passed the first time through the audit process, this goal was achieved within 18 months from starting the process. Jason then moved onto Norsat International Inc and held the position of Microwave Technologist for 5 years and was responsible for the Microwave Products Division's microwave test lab.  He performed QA testing, documentation/report generation, sales and customer support functions to name a few. His last position held at Norsat was that of Production Supervisor for the ODU production line.  For the past 3 years Jason has been heading up Orbital's production, QA, test and modification departments and looks forward to producing a product just for you.

David Zuvic has been in sales, marketing, product management, and technical support in the Satellite, Communications, and Broadcasting industries for 15 years.  As a salesperson, he helped companies expand sales and introduce new products into the marketplace, as well as extend their global reach.  As a product manager for Norsat International Inc, he forged stronger supplier relationships and worked at filling and completing Norsat's product line.  As part of technical support, David organized and developed Sales support information packages, price lists, product specification sheets, brochures, and customer relations procedures.

Neil Baxter became involved in the satellite industry in 1979, both as an accountant and installing systems in northern British Columbia, later with businesses importing and distributing satellite and other microwave equipment.  He has been a controller/network administrator for high-tech companies continuously since then.  At Orbital, he is to blame for the web site.
