Level on deployment, production, commercials, progress, technology, firepower and leverage. Lockheed Martin Space is based in Littleton, United States, Northrop Grumman Space in Dulles, United States. Lockheed Martin Space: Subsidiary. Northrop Grumman Space: Subsidiary. Lockheed Martin Space is named in 90 signals and Northrop Grumman Space in 112.
Lockheed Martin builds spacecraft platforms including LM 400, GPS III, OPIR, and missile-warning satellites for government and defense customers.
Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
Lockheed Martin's space segment (~$13B annual revenue) has the deepest prime bench in national-security space: Orion (Artemis), GPS III, classified sensor programs, an SDA Tranche 3 win (December 2025), Terran Orbital as its smallsat manufacturing arm, and a HawkEye 360 investment. Its venture arm and Terran absorption show a build-buy-invest triple play. Segment financials are program-scoped (a filings pass owed).

45 facts on file.
Northrop Grumman designs, builds and operates spacecraft for reconnaissance, missile tracking, communications and cargo, including SDA satellites and Cygnus.
Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
Northrop Grumman's space unit spans Cygnus ISS cargo, solid rocket motors (GEM/OmegA heritage), missile-warning primes, and an SDA Tranche 3 win, and it holds the servicing category's only commercial operating record via the flown MEV-1 and MEV-2 GEO life-extension servicers. It is the quiet incumbent while startups (Astroscale, Starfish) hold the servicing contracts pipeline, though a Northrop launch anomaly stranded AST's BB7. Segment financials are group-scoped and not broken out (a filings pass owed).
