Lockheed Martin Corporation
Supporting NASA's Artemis Mission to the Moon by 2024
Lockheed Martin is positioned to support NASA’s plans to return to the surface of the Moon in
2024, which NASA is calling the effort Artemis. They are building Orion, the only spacecraft able to take
humans to deep space. Lockheed Martin is supporting work on the lunar Gateway with their NextSTEP
habitat prototype work. They also have a concept we are proposing to NASA to develop the
crewed lunar lander.
The Artemis program is about going to the Moon, but it will teach us about how to send
humans to Mars. Our Mars Base Camp vision shows how NASA can use Orion to send the first humans to Mars in an orbiting system and return them safely home.
