Lockheed Martin Begins Constructing New Satellite Facility

Lockheed Martin has been pouring a lot of money into new facilities lately, both their own and others'. In July, the company invested $1 million in the first additive manufacturing facility to open in Colorado, to be established on the campus of Metropolitan State University of Denver. Now Lockheed Martin has announced that they are beginning construction on a $350 million facility that will focus on producing advanced satellites. The new factory, to be called the Gateway Center, will be built on the company's Waterton Canyon, Colorado campus near Denver and is scheduled to be completed in 2020. 3D printing and virtual reality will be among the technologies used to create the satellites, which Lockheed Martin states will be more powerful and flexible at only a fraction of the cost and delivery time.
