History

Lockheed Martin was formed by a "merger of equals", both companies contributing important products to the new portfolio. Lockheed products included the Trident missile, P-3 Orion, F-16 Fighting Falcon (the production line being purchased from General Dynamics in 1993), F-22 Raptor, C-130 Hercules, A-4AR Fightinghawk and the DSCS-3 satellite. Martin Marietta products included Titan rockets, Sandia National Laboratories (management contract acquired in 1993), Space Shuttle External Tank, Viking 1 and Viking 2 landers, the Transfer Orbit Stage (under subcontract to Orbital Sciences Corporation) and various satellite models. Six companies not kept after the merger became the foundation for today's L-3 Communications, a mid-sized defense contractor in its own right.

In September 1999, the Mars Climate Orbiter smashed into the surface of Mars and was destroyed due to a failure to convert imperial measures of rocket thrust (pounds) to metric measures (Newtons).

The $250 million dollar spacecraft burned up or broke apart in the Mars' atmosphere due to the error.
