Going to space is just the beginning. It's what you do when you get there that matters most. 🚀 Official space account of @LockheedMartin.

We understand the administration's desire for a cost-effective solution to bring Mars samples to Earth, continuing American leadership in scientific and human space exploration. We offered a solution to NASA to bring these samples to Earth for under $3B. https://t.co/uCr4JNIjEj

Lockheed Martin's Mars Sample Return architecture emphasizes a simplified and centralized architecture while reducing costs effectively.
Life on Mars? There just might be! NASA’s Perseverance Rover, launched during President Trump’s first term, may have discovered the clearest evidence yet of ancient life on Mars.

Send your name to the Moon! 🚀🌖
Your name goes here! We’re collecting names to fly around the Moon. 3.4 million of you joined us for Artemis I. How many of you would like to come along with the Artemis II mission? https://t.co/vyLCuDWQtq

Happy Launch-iversary OSIRIS-REx! #OTD, nine years ago, OSIRIS-REx launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on a @ULALaunch Atlas V, on its way #ToBennuAndBack! Then on September 24, 2023, OSIRIS-REx successfully delivered a sample from the asteroid Bennu to Earth.

Golden Dome for America needs space manufacturing now. We're not expanding to get ready. We're already there. With 2M sq. ft. of space manufacturing - from satellites to missile defense to reentry vehicles - we’re ready to support today.

Around and around and around they go! The three Mars orbiters we built and fly - MAVEN, Odyssey and MRO - are a critical part of the MRN and have completed more than 215,000 orbits total!
Dialed in: The Mars Relay Network (MRN) is an international constellation of five spacecraft orbiting the Red Planet that send precious science data from the rovers back to Earth. You can track which spacecraft are transmitting in real time at https://t.co/TxajNBKzBh

The future of space is clear. Actually it's nuclear! Register now and tune in to the @SpaceNews_Inc "Nuclear Power in Space" live event on Thursday to hear from the experts how nuclear power is critical for a sustainable presence in space.
Space nuclear power is at a crossroads. Advocates see it as essential for lunar operations, Mars missions, and national security. Critics point to cost and complexity. Hear what’s at stake this Thursday, Aug. 28. https://t.co/D1GlOlm0sL

When it comes to talking to Mars, experience matters. We built and operate NASA’s current Mars orbiters—and we’re well positioned to deliver the next generation of communications infrastructure to support future sample return and crewed missions to the Red Planet. Learn more 👇

Our journey began with Viking and has fueled 5 decades of discovery—from mapping planets to exploring asteroids and beyond. We can't wait to see what the next 50 years of deep space exploration and planetary discoveries will reveal!

50 years ago today, the Viking I mission launched on a @LockheedMartin Titan rocket—carrying the lander we built—to become the first @NASA spacecraft to touch down on Mars. From that leap to today’s missions, our deep space heritage continues to shape NASA science.

Preparing for a new ERA! 😉
Artemis II will launch on its mission around the Moon in early 2026. The crew is training, the rocket is stacking, and all the pieces are coming together. Our experts will be on @Reddit to take your @NASAArtemis questions on Aug. 14 at 1pm ET (1700 UTC): https://t.co/yzlYmjbQki

Almost mission-ready. The first Next-Gen OPIR GEO satellite @lockheedmartin built for the @USSF_SSC recently completed environmental testing, proving it’s resilience against the extreme conditions of space and the intensity of launch.

On the road again! 🚚 @NASA's Orion spacecraft is all fueled up and was recently transported from @NASAKennedy's Multi-Payload Processing Facility to the Launch Abort System Facility. Next up: integrating Orion with the 44-foot-tall launch abort tower. Let's go!

Launched. Delivered. Operational. ✅ We transferred control of the GPS III SV08 satellite to the @SpaceForceDoD in record time! SV08 now joins 31 active GPS satellites on orbit delivering secure, resilient PNT data to billions of users around the world.

A fission reactor on the Moon is a must for human exploration to progress. The Moon is dark and cold 14 days of the month and solar power is not enough to develop a sustainable Moon base. Space fission surface power is safe and we’re continuing to invest to make this a reality.
We’re going to bring nuclear fission to the lunar surface to power our base. If you lead in space, you lead on Earth.
