The research and development center at Lockheed Martin responsible for space technology innovation is changing its name to the Space Technology Advanced Research and Development Laboratories, or STAR Labs. The organization leads advanced research and development projects, from solar studies and nano applications to 3-D printing and communications research.
加利福尼亚州帕洛阿尔托（Palo Alto），Star Labs设施是洛克希德·马丁（Lockheed Martin）的太空研发投资组合的主要地点。最近，它标志着新的实验室大楼的开放标志着重大投资。
Star Labs副总裁Kenneth Washington博士说：“ Star Labs的名字使我们对追求50年的任务的关注更加重视：塑造我们国家的太空计划的未来。”“我们继续解决棘手的技术问题并建立首个原型，并以更新的目的来帮助客户的太空计划为明天做好准备。”
STAR Labs has made a marked difference in the space industry, even recently. Its scientists showed the potent capability of small satellites with IRIS, demonstrated dramatic cost and schedule savings with additive manufacturing and created the smallest cryocooler ever, making compact sensor payloads possible.
The principle site for Lockheed Martin's STAR Labs is in Palo Alto, California, which served as the main facility under the previous name, the Advanced Technology Center. Additionally, the organization operates laboratories in Sunnyvale, California; Louisville, Colorado; Billerica, Massachusetts; and Manassas, Virginia. Lockheed Martin's Space Systems division has operated a research center since 1956, and the Palo Alto site recently received a major reinvestment with the opening of a new 82,000 sq. ft. lab building.
