While others view space as a destination, we see it as a realm of possibilities, where we can innovate, invest, inspire and integrate our capabilities to transform the future.\n\nAt Lockheed Martin Space, we aim to harness the full potential of space to cultivate innovation, reduce costs, and push the boundaries of what technology can achieve. We are creating future‑ready solutions, focusing on resiliency and urgency through our 21st Century Security vision. We are erasing boundaries and forming partnerships across industries and around the world. We are advancing spacecraft and the workforce to fuel the next generation. And we are reimagining how space can connect us, ensuring security and prosperity.\n\nJoin us in shaping a new era in space and find a career that's built for you.\n\nLockheed Martin Space — Your Mission is Ours.\n\nOverview\nAt Lockheed Martin, your work has real impact. Every day our teams design and deliver satellites and spacecraft that:\n\nProvide early warning for severe weather and global threats\n\nConnect troops and critical missions across the globe\n\nEnable GPS navigation for billions of people\n\nSupport exploration and scientific discovery beyond our planet\n\nBut going to space is just the beginning. What matters most is what happens once we get there.\n\nWe are developing the next generation of intelligent satellites—spacecraft that operate like “smartphones in orbit,” with software that can be updated in flight to adapt to changing mission needs.
