Strategic prime partnerships
Orion stands as the most advanced deep space vehicle ever developed, but its journey to the launchpad is the result of a massive collaborative effort between American manufacturing titans.
The project has seen Aerojet Rocketdyne, Boeing, Amentum, Jacobs, Northrop Grumman and SpaceX align to deliver a high-stakes technical marvel.
Lockheed Martin serves as the primary contractor for Orion, overseeing the design, development and production phases. Their remit spans from advanced propulsion and launch abort systems to precision docking capabilities.
Lisa Callahan, former Vice President and General Manager of Commercial Civil Space at Lockheed Martin, says: “Orion is a new class of spaceship, uniquely designed for long-duration deep space flight, that will return astronauts to the Moon and eventually take the first humans to Mars, and bring them all back safely.
“Orion will accelerate scientific discovery of our solar system and will be the cornerstone of the defining space achievement of this era.”
Lisa and her team are already looking beyond the 2026 window, with assembly currently underway for the Artemis III, IV and V missions.
