Two Littleton Companies Make Short List For Missions To The Moon

Lockheed Martin and Deep Space Systems chosen to work with NASA on new Moon space project.

LITTLETON, Colo. (CBS4) By Jeff Todd – When NASA announced plans to take more missions to the Lunar surface, two Colorado companies got what they’ve been waiting for.

Deep Space Systems and Lockheed Martin, both of Littleton, made the list to bid on projects to deliver payloads to the moon.

“It has been a pretty busy week actually. On Monday, we landed on Mars. Today, we got the news that NASA selected Lockheed Martin as one of nine companies to build lunar landers,” said Josh Hopkins, a Senior Staff Engineer at Lockheed Martin. “It’s fun to have a chance to work on the moon again.”
