From self-repairing rovers on the Moon and Mars to a communications satellite on the dark side of the Moon, soon, space will connect humans like never before. It’s all a part of bringing big business to space.

The future of space means big business. Moon and Mars-based economies will include everything from trade routes to human habitats to new lunar rovers and, yes, eventually poets, artists, and even pets. But what does that really look like?

How will space-based humans “Bring Earth Along” when they become an off-planet species? Here’s an inside look how an Earth and space-based future will unlock new technologies and opportunities.

Could people soon live and thrive on other planets and Moons? In this episode, learn how Lockheed Martin is helping humanity obtain a level of independence from Earth.

Can creating a new space economy also “Help Earth?” Learn how Lockheed Martin is developing unique space-based technologies that will help address some of Earth’s toughest sustainability challenges.

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

In Season 2 of Space Makers, we'll take you out of this world and give you an inside look into how we are pioneering a bold new vision of space.

Join us on this journey of adventure and discovery as our experts explore the future of space. We'll explain how today's technological advancements are establishing interconnected communications, defending our allies, helping humans "untether" from Earth, and sustaining Earth for future generations.

Space is a fascinating and mysterious place that often redefines science as we know it. And this couldn’t be more true than with the asteroid Bennu.

As the spacecraft OSIRIS-REx got close to this ancient interstellar object, they noticed something strange happening. Listen to this episode to hear why scientists think this peculiar event is happening.

The life-sustaining jewel of the Artemis program, Orion, is the only spacecraft rated for human deep space flight. Designed to meet the needs for a 3-day mission to the Moon or a 3-year journey to Mars, the Orion spacecraft is uniquely suited to protect astronauts in the most extreme conditions.

We talk with Dr. Christine Edwards, the Deputy Exploration Architect at Lockheed Martin Space, for a behind-the-scenes peek into the engineering of the spacecraft that will take the first woman and next man to the Moon.

We'll also explore what deep space travel might look like for humans in the future.

We're bringing you a story about a groundbreaking mission named Lucy, set to launch in October of 2021. This mission will visit and study a record number of Trojan asteroids that are some of the oldest objects in our solar system.

It takes an incredible amount of work to plan a mission to one location in deep space, but planning a mission to visit seven Trojan asteroids is a once-in-a-lifetime event.

We take you behind the scenes with the engineers and scientists leading this mission and then "flash forward" to advanced mission designing and what possibilities we can accomplish next.
