Quite a journey. And we’re just getting started. 🛰️

The #LucyMission spacecraft, built by us in Colorado, captured this stunning photo of the Moon only eight hours after its Earth-gravity assist on Oct 16. Lucy will be back for its second of three EGAs in late 2024.

Included in this collection of CubeSats is LunIR – or Lunar Infrared Imaging – a tech demonstration that will prove out a novel type of infrared camera. Learn more: lockheedmartin.com/lunir

Onto another bright idea. ☀

We're developing a prototype for NASA Technology's Vertical Solar Array Technology (VSAT) to harness the most powerful energy source in our galaxy — the Sun — to power a sustainable human presence on the Moon. ⬇

Literally everyone is in the photo. 🤯

On October 16, Lucy performed its first of three Earth-gravity assists as it makes its way to the Trojan asteroids. This photo was snapped as it approached our home planet. Learn more about Lucy: lockheedmartin.com/lucy

It's a beautiful #Moonday morning! 🌖

We're only a few, short weeks away from Orion Spacecraft being launch to the Moon onboard NASA_SLS and we can barely contain our excitement.

So, we're curious, what's your favorite Moon fact? 🤔

In case you missed it… 👀

Simplified version ⬇️

Can we get a little power up here? 🌔⚡

Nuclear fission surface power systems can produce at least 40 kilowatts of power and operate on permanently shadowed regions of the Moon. These solutions for the future of lunar power are not only simple, but safe.

What does Space look like in 2050? Lockheed Martin recently launched a conversation about it. Read more:

Welcome to the year 2050.

How we live in the future is being shaped by the advances in space technologies today. Take a look at our vision of the world that's yet to come.

It was a treat having Camille Elizabeth come by our Destination: #Space2050 event today! Check out her experience and get a taste of our vision of the future. ⬇️

Order up! 🛎

NASA has ordered three NASA_Orion spacecraft to be built by us for the Artemis VI, VII and VIII missions, the next set of exploration-class vehicles that will carry astronauts into deep space. ⬇

How it started ⬇️ How it’s going ⬇️

Hey space fans! It is #WallpaperWednesday once again. Time to grab some new Orion Spacecraft wallpapers as we approach the next launch attempt in just a few weeks. Which is your favorite?

Today, Oct. 18th, 2022, at approx. 5:30 p.m. EDT, NASA's Super Guppy aircraft landed at NASAKennedy carrying the Artemis III NASA_Orion spacecraft heat shield that will protect astronauts on the historic mission returning humanity to the surface of the Moon. #Artemis

Be a part of the NASA Artemis I mission!

You can send a comment to the Callisto tech demo, that will fly onboard Orion Spacecraft as it travels to, around, and back from the Moon.

Use the new Explore Orion app to send your comment to Callisto today. lockheedmartin.com/explore-orion.…

Instead of looking at it as another Monday, maybe we should look at it as another #Moonday ! 🌙
 
In 2005, Hubble, built by us, snapped this photo of Pluto and its moons: Charon, Nix and Hydra.
 
What's your favorite moon in the solar system? 🤔

In today’s podcast, we’re going to go Behind the Wings of a cutting-edge space vehicle – The Orion Spacecraft, and the Artemis Missions – with Lockheed Martin Space systems engineer and Integration senior manager Kerry Timmons: buff.ly/3De6vJD

It’s Lucy in the sky! 💎

The #LucyMission spacecraft streaked across the early morning sky during its Earth gravity assist as it works its way toward the Trojan asteroids.

See you again in two years, Lucy!
