Going to space is just the beginning. It's what you do when you get there that matters.

Lockheed Martin-built satellites give earlier warning of severe weather, connect troops on the battlefield, and deliver GPS directions to a billion people worldwide.

As we look to the future, we're driving innovations to help our customers do even more in orbit. That's why we're crafting smarter satellites that operate like smartphones in the sky, with apps that can be updated in orbit so they can adapt as mission needs on the ground change. Your mission is ours. And as that mission evolves, we'll be ready. Will you?

Every day, our 115,000 employees come to work with one focus - our customers' missions. Our customers tackle the hardest missions.
