Lockheed Wins NASA Moon Ship Contract Over Apollo Relatives
Lockheed Martin won a multibillion dollar NASA contract to build the Orion crew exploration vehicle to return astronauts to the moon and possibly Mars. The design emphasizes reusability, with Johnson Space Center directing most work and final assembly at Kennedy Space Center. The project is expected to create about 2,300 jobs across Texas, Florida, Colorado, and Louisiana, and NASA bypassed Northrop Grumman and Boeing, the latter tied to earlier Apollo era programs.
