Lockheed Martin
Lockheed Martin is a commercial launch operator based in United States of America, founded in 1953. The register credits it with 80 launches flown under its own name — 77 successful, 3 failed, a lifetime success rate of 96.3%. It is not flying anything inside the current manifest window.
Flight record
Launch statistics
Counts are launches filed under LMT’s own name in The Space Devs’ Launch Library register. They are not a count of missions or payloads: a spacecraft that flew on a contracted vehicle is credited to the operator that flew it.
Who flies for them, and who they fly for
An operator owns the rocket and runs the count, and it is the operator’s name the launch schedule filters by. A customer funds the mission, supplies the payload and buys the ride. Plenty of organisations are both. LMT is counted below in whichever role the current manifest actually gives it.
Manifest role
No scheduled flight in the current window names LMT while being operated by somebody else.
How this is counted: a scheduled launch is treated as a customer flight when this organisation’s name or abbreviation appears in the launch name, mission name or programme and somebody else is flying it. Mission descriptions are not searched, and the window is one batch of the next launches worldwide, reaching to 2026-12-31 00:00:00Z — so both counts are a floor, not a complete manifest.
About LMT
Lockheed Martin's Space Division started in the production of missiles and later ICBM's in the 1950s. Their TITAN missile system was used for 12 Gemini spacecraft and the Voyager probes. They have worked largely in collaboration with NASA on many of their probes, landers, and spacecraft, and hope to play a key role in NASA's return to the moon in 2024.

Manifest
LMT is not flying anything inside the current manifest window, which reaches to 2026-12-31 00:00:00Z. Missions appear here the moment a launch date is published.
All upcoming launches“T-0 known to” is the register’s own precision on the launch time — a date good only to the month is shown as such rather than counted down as if it were exact. A go-probability appears only where the operator published one for that flight; Delta-V does not calculate it and it is not a forecast made here.

Common questions
- How many launches has Lockheed Martin flown?
- Lockheed Martin has 80 launches on record under its own name, of which 77 succeeded and 3 failed. The register counts launches flown under an operator's own name, not missions or payloads it contributed to.
- What is Lockheed Martin's success rate?
- Lockheed Martin has a lifetime launch success rate of 96.3%, calculated as 77 successful flights out of 80 attempts. Its current run is 38 consecutive successes.
- When is Lockheed Martin's next launch?
- Lockheed Martin is not flying anything inside Delta-V's current manifest window, which reaches to 2026-12-31 00:00:00Z.
- Does Lockheed Martin fly its own rockets, or buy launches from another operator?
- Lockheed Martin has 80 launches flown under its own name in the launch register. It is not the operator on any flight in the current manifest window. An operator owns the rocket and runs the count; a customer funds the mission, supplies the payload and buys the ride. The operator filter on the launch schedule lists only the former, which is why a well-known agency can be central to a flight and still not appear on it.
- Where is Lockheed Martin based?
- Lockheed Martin is based in United States of America and the register classifies it as a commercial operator. It was founded in 1953.
