LM-400 Technology Demonstrator [Lockheed Martin]

Lockheed Martin’s LM-400 Technology Demonstrator is part of a series of self-funded missions by the company to demonstrate the maturity of new technology on orbit and reduce risk for their customers.

The LM 400 tech demo was specifically built to showcase the company’s pathfinding efforts for its LM 400 mid-sized, multi-mission satellite bus, and to demonstrate the space vehicle’s operational capabilities on orbit for potential customers.

As a platform, Lockheed Martin’s LM 400 is the company’s most flexible satellite bus, capable of serving military, commercial or civil customers. It can be customized to host a variety of missions – including remote sensing, communications, imaging and radar – and operate in any orbit.
