Manufacturer catalog
Lockheed Martin Space is the space business segment of Lockheed Martin Corporation, focused on satellites, space transportation systems, strategic deterrence, missile warning, missile defense, classified national-security space work, and related ground-system integration. Its catalog-relevant work includes military satellite communications, positioning and navigation, overhead persistent infrared missile warning, strategic systems, and proliferated space-architecture programs for U.S. and allied government customers.
1 weaponsLockheed Martin's public filings describe Space as a segment engaged in research, design, development, engineering, and production of satellites, space transportation systems, strategic strike systems, advanced strike systems, and defensive systems. The segment also integrates complex space and ground systems for intelligence collection, analysis, and secure distribution, while carrying classified national-security space programs that are necessarily described only at a high level in public material.
The manufacturer's defense-space footprint is anchored by long-running U.S. government programs. Publicly reported examples include MUOS narrowband satellite communications, GPS III and GPS IIIF navigation satellites, Next Gen OPIR missile-warning satellites, the Trident II D5 Fleet Ballistic Missile program, Next Generation Interceptor work, hypersonics, and Transport and Tracking Layer satellites. For the 2025 fiscal year, Lockheed Martin reported Space segment sales of $13.0 billion, operating profit of $1.35 billion, and year-end backlog of $39.8 billion.
Lockheed Martin Space is the prime system contractor and satellite designer for MUOS, a U.S. narrowband military satellite communications system using UHF and WCDMA-based networking.

Public material separates Lockheed Martin Corporation, the Space business segment, older Lockheed Martin Space Systems wording, and program-level prime-contractor labels. This profile keeps the canonical catalog manufacturer as Lockheed Martin Space and avoids duplicating aliases already represented by separate manufacturer profiles. No rights-clear manufacturer image was added during this pass.
