'''Lockheed Martin Space ''' is one of the four major business divisions of [[Lockheed Martin]]. It has its headquarters in [[Littleton, Colorado]], with additional sites in [[Valley Forge, Pennsylvania]]; [[Sunnyvale, California]]; [[Santa Cruz, California]]; [[Huntsville, Alabama]]; and elsewhere in the United States and United Kingdom. The division currently employs about 20,000 people, and its most notable products are commercial and military [[satellites]], [[space probe]]s, [[missile defense]] systems, [[NASA]]'s [[Orion spacecraft]], and the [[Space Shuttle external tank]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Lockheed Martin To Slash 1,200 Jobs At Space Systems Unit|agency=RTTNews|date=2011-06-14|access-date=2015-05-13|url=http://www.rttnews.com/ArticleView.aspx?Id=1646041}}</ref>

== History ==
The Lockheed Missile Systems Division was established in [[Van Nuys|Van Nuys, California]], in late 1953 to consolidate work on the [[Lockheed X-17]] and [[Lockheed X-7|X-7]]. The X-17 was a three-stage solid-fuel research rocket designed to test the effects of high mach atmospheric reentry. The X-17 was also used as the booster for the [[Operation Argus]] series of three high-altitude nuclear tests conducted in the [[Atlantic Ocean|South Atlantic]] in 1958. The Lockheed X-7 (dubbed the "Flying Stove Pipe") was an American uncrewed test bed of the 1950s for ramjet engines and missile guidance technology.

Lockheed Missiles Division moved from Van Nuys, California, to the newly constructed facility in [[Palo Alto, California]], in 1956, then to the larger facility in [[Sunnyvale, California|Sunnyvale]] in 1957. The [[UGM-27 Polaris|Polaris missile]] was the first major new program for both locations, followed later by satellite programs, thus the name change to Lockheed Missiles and Space Division.

The [[UGM-27 Polaris]] was a [[Submarine-launched ballistic missile]] (SLBM) built during the [[Cold War]] by Lockheed Missiles & Space Division in Sunnyvale, California, for the [[United States Navy]]. The Polaris program started development in 1956, with its first flight test in 1958. In 1962, the {{USS|Ethan Allen|SSBN-608}} successfully fired a Polaris A-1 missile against a test target in 1960. The SLBM has evolved through Polaris (A2), Polaris (A3), [[UGM-73 Poseidon|Poseidon]] (C3), [[UGM-96 Trident I|Trident I]] (C4) and ongoing with today's [[UGM-133 Trident II|Trident II]] (D5). All of these were designed and managed at the Sunnyvale facility. Together, these are known as the Navy's Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) Program. Lockheed Martin has been the sole provider of FBM missiles since 1956.

Lockheed Missiles & Space became prime contractor for elements of Military Satellite System (WS 117L), calling for the development of a strategic satellite system. The core element was Lockheed's [[RM-81 Agena|Agena]] spacecraft, the world's first multipurpose spacecraft with boost and maneuvering engines, also acting as the 2nd stage of the launch vehicle and/or carrier vehicle for the reconnaissance system. WS-117L and Agena lead to the development of the [[Corona (satellite)]]—the nation's first photo reconnaissance satellite system, collecting both intelligence and mapping imagery from August 1960 until May 1972.  Over 800,000 images were taken from space, with imaging resolution originally equaling {{convert|8|m|ftin}}, later improved to {{convert|2|m|ftin}}. The program was declassified in February 1995.  Approximately 365 Agena spacecraft supported a wide variety of missions, from NASA's early interplanetary efforts; to the US Navy's SeaSat, the USAF's Corona, Midas and Samos series between January 1959 and February 1987, when the last Agena D was launched.

The [[Corona (satellite)|Corona program]] led to the development of the [[KH-7 Gambit]] and [[KH-9 Hexagon]] programs. The first Gambit system, launched in 1963, was equipped with a {{cvt|77|in}} focal length camera system. The second system, [[KH-8 Gambit 3]], was equipped with the camera system that included a {{cvt|175|in}} focal length camera. The system was first launched in 1966 and provided the U.S. with exquisite surveillance capabilities from space for nearly two decades. Hexagon was first launched in 1971 to improve upon Corona's capability to image broad denied areas for threats to the United States. Twelve of the 19 systems flown also carried a mapping camera to aid in U.S. military war planning. In addition, Gambit and Hexagon were launched aboard rockets built by Lockheed Martin heritage companies. Gambit 1 was launched on an [[Atlas (rocket family)|Atlas]] launch vehicle with the orbiting [[RM-81 Agena|Agena D]] [[Multistage rocket|upper stage]] and Gambit 3 was launched using a [[Titan IIIB]] booster. Hexagon was launched aboard the larger [[Titan IIID]] launch vehicle.

Lockheed achieved the first-ever hit-to-kill of an [[Intercontinental ballistic missile]] ICBM reentry vehicle in 1984 with the [[Strategic Defense Initiative|Homing Overlay Experiment]], using the
[[Projectile|Kinetic Kill Vehicle]] (KKV) force of impact alone to destroy a mock warhead outside the Earth's atmosphere. The KKV was equipped with an [[Infrared homing|infrared seeker]], guidance electronics and a [[Propulsion|propulsion system]]. Once in space, the KKV could extend a folded structure similar to an umbrella skeleton of {{cvt|4|m}} diameter to enhance its effective cross section. This device would destroy the [[LGM-30 Minuteman|Minuteman RV]] with a closing speed of about {{cvt|20000|ft/s}} at an altitude of more than {{cvt|100|mi}}. Further testing produced the [[Terminal High Altitude Area Defense]] (THAAD) Weapon System, the [[Medium Extended Air Defense System]] (MEADS) and the [[Multiple Kill Vehicle]] (MKV).

The [[Titan (rocket family)|Titan I]] was the first version of the Titan family of rockets, first developed in October 1955, when the U.S. Air Force awarded the then [[Glenn L. Martin Company|Martin Company]] in Denver, Colorado, a contract to build an [[Intercontinental ballistic missile]] (ICBM). It was the United States' first two-stage rocket and formed an integral part of their strategic deterrent force. In the early 1960s, the rocket was adapted to launch the [[Project Gemini|Gemini capsule]] that carried two people at a time into space. [[Titan (rocket family)|Titan II]] succeeded in launching 12 Gemini spacecraft and has also helped to launch the [[Viking program|Viking missions to Mars]], [[Voyager 1]] and [[Voyager 2|2]] and most recently [[Cassini–Huygens]] to Saturn. It began as a backup ICBM project in case the Atlas was delayed. It was a two-stage rocket powered by RP-1 and LOX. The Titan I and Atlas ICBMs using RP-1/LOX fuel did not have a quick launch sequence. They took about 30 minutes to fuel up and fire. Most Titan rockets were derivatives of the Titan II ICBM. The [[LGM-25C Titan II|Titan II]] ICBM had one [[B53 nuclear bomb|W-53]] warhead with a 9 megaton yield, making it the most powerful ICBM on-standby in the U.S. nuclear arsenal. The [[Titan (rocket family)|Titan III]] was a modified Titan II with optional solid rocket boosters. It was developed by the U.S. Air Force as a heavy-lift satellite launcher to be used mainly to launch U.S. Military payloads such as [[Defense Support Program]] (DSP) early-warning, intelligence (spy), and defense communications satellites. The [[Titan IV]] is a stretched Titan III with non-optional solid rocket boosters. It could be launched either with the [[Centaur (rocket stage)|Centaur]] upper stage, with the [[Inertial Upper Stage]] (IUS) or without any upper stage. It was almost exclusively used to launch U.S. military payloads, though it was also used to launch NASA's [[Cassini–Huygens]] probe to Saturn in 1997.<ref>{{cite web|title=Cassini Mission Overview |url=http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/products/pdfs/cassini_msn_overview.pdf|publisher=NASA|access-date=17 June 2011|url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110610033804/http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/products/pdfs/cassini_msn_overview.pdf|archive-date=10 June 2011}} {{PD-notice}}</ref>

'''RCA Astro-Electronics Division''', a division of [[RCA]]. In March 1958, RCA established Astro Electronics Products (AEP) as a division of RCA Defense Electronic Products. This [[spacecraft]] design and manufacturing facility, also referred to as the RCA Space Center was located in [[East Windsor Township, New Jersey|East Windsor]], [[New Jersey]]. 

On 18 December 1958, RCA Astro successfully launched its first communications satellite from [[Cape Canaveral Space Force Station|Cape Canaveral]]. It was called [[SCORE (satellite)|SCORE]], (Signal Communications by Orbiting Relay Equipment).
