What the model surfaced from this award
Develop and implement a lightning-mapping instrument for NASA's geostationary satellite to measure optical transients from lightning.
Lightning mapper data improves severe weather prediction, climate modeling, and atmospheric science critical for public safety and climate research.
Lockheed Martin will source optical sensors, spectral detection components, and satellite integration expertise from aerospace supply chain partners.
Advanced Earth observation capabilities strengthen U.S. space infrastructure and reduce dependence on foreign satellite data for weather and climate monitoring.
