Lockheed Martin is partnered with Blue Origin, who assembled a national team to respond to this national priority. NASA asked the aerospace industry to get astronauts to the surface of the Moon, and we’ve rolled up our sleeves and are taking the challenge head-on. Inflatable structures like this have been proven on the International Space Station, and Starlab will be the next application for inflatable rooms, perfect for science, living or recreation. With inflatable habitats, we can build space destinations with fewer materials and fewer launches. That experience includes inflatable habitats, which are proven, affordable and easily transportable compartments that fold for launch and expand in orbit. Starlab leverages Lockheed Martin’s experience in long-endurance space missions, crewed spaceflight and building infrastructure for an expanding commercial space economy. With aging infrastructure in orbit, the project expands options for humans living in space. Nanoracks will lead the Starlab team in competing for the CLD project. NASA recently announced the Commercial Low-Earth Orbit Destination (CLD) project to support the development of private space stations. presence and leadership in low-Earth orbit. Lockheed Martin teamed with Nanoracks and its parent company, Voyager Space, to build and operate the first-ever continuously-crewed, free-flying, commercial space station, Starlab, dedicated to conducting critical research, fostering industrial activity, and ensuring continued U.S.

Whether near term and close to the Earth or building a future path to the Moon and Mars, Lockheed Martin is applying its crewed space mission expertise to longer stays among the stars.
