Lockheed Martin Delivers Atmospheric Imaging Assembly to NASA

The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA), a suite of four telescopes for NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), has been delivered to the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in preparation for a launch of SDO no earlier than December 2008. The AIA was designed and built at the Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory of the Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center (ATC) in Palo Alto.

GeoEye Secures Insurance for IKONOS Satellite

GeoEye, Inc. , a premier provider of satellite, aerial and geospatial information, announced today that it has secured insurance in the amount of $20 million on its IKONOS satellite for 2008 with terms comparable to those it had for 2007. This was facilitated by a new analysis, performed by Lockheed Martin Corporation, on the life expectancy of its IKONOS high-resolution Earth-imaging satellite. The company now estimates IKONOS may continue to meet mission requirements into the next decade.

New Imaging System That Quickly Maps the Mechanical Properties of Materials

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed an imaging system that quickly maps the mechanical properties of materials - how stiff or stretchy they are, for example - at scales on the order of billionths of a meter. The new tool can be a cost-effective way to design and characterize mixed nanoscale materials such as composites or thin-film structures.
