Tim Cichan, space exploration architect at Lockheed Martin, described the lunar lander as a “precursor vehicle” to that Mars design that could test out many of the technologies needed for later Mars missions. <a href="https://spacenews.com/lockheed-martin-unveils-lunar-lander-concept/" rel="nofollow">Read more...</a></p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Wed, 03 Oct 2018 19:45:47 +0000 Anonymous 909 at /ness
