From orbital defence technologies to driving regional growth, we leverage our global expertise to support the UK’s security, scientific exploration, and economic ambition.
The UK is entering a bold new space era—moving beyond short-term missions to push the frontiers of human knowledge and discovery.
Lockheed Martin brings decades of expertise and forward-looking capabilities to help the United Kingdom realise its space ambitions—from secure communications and resilient infrastructure to groundbreaking science and exploration. We’re dedicated to strengthening the nation's sovereign space capabilities, building satellites, technologies, and talent here at home, while supporting jobs and growing one of the world’s most advanced space sectors.
But ambition alone isn’t enough. By investing in skills, innovation, and a resilient supply chain, we’re transforming the UK into a global space powerhouse.
Leading the UK’s next space-age innovations
For more than 50 years, space exploration has been in our DNA. In our high bays and advanced technology centres, we’ve built an engine of innovation driving humanity’s permanent presence in space.
That legacy fuels our work in the UK, where we’re developing next‑generation technologies and delivering high‑value initiatives nationwide. Success depends on collaboration. This means bridging industries to harness the technology, talent, and investment needed to strengthen deterrence, grow capability, and contribute to a thriving UK space sector.
