Sponsors of the Caltech Space Challenge 2022
Lockheed Martin
Headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company that employs approximately 114,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services.
Lockheed Martin solves the world’s toughest technology challenges. More than 100 nations rely on Lockheed Martin employees, products and technologies to help them protect and connect their citizens and advance scientific discovery.
In a time of growing uncertainty and unpredictable threats, we focus on innovation and performance to keep our customers at the center of everything we do. To this end, we are focusing our research and development investments and commercial relationships in areas that will give our customers a decisive advantage around the globe such as artificial intelligence and autonomy, hypersonics, edge computing and spectrum dominance.
KECK Institute for Space Studies
The Keck Institute for Space Studies (KISS) develops new planetary, Earth, astrobiology and astrophysics space mission concepts and technology by bringing together a broad spectrum of scientists and engineers for sustained scientific and technical interaction. KISS is a think tank centered on the intellectual, instrumentation, and research strengths of the Caltech Campus and JPL — and augments those strengths by inviting external experts from academia, government, and industry to engage in its programs. The Institute also provides opportunities for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to actively participate in cutting edge space mission research and learning. The Institute supports significant outreach to the public and the wider technical/scientific community via its lectures and online dissemination of study results.
Boeing
Boeing Commercial Airplanes is committed to being the leader in commercial aviation by offering airplanes and services that deliver superior design, efficiency and value to our customers and a superior flying experience to their customers. Today, there are more than 10,000 Boeing commercial jetliners in service; airplanes that fly farther on less fuel, airplanes that reduce airport noise and emissions, airplanes that provide passenger-preferred comfort while delivering superior bottom-line performance to operators. Leadership for today and tomorrow. That's a better way to fly.
Boeing Commercial Airplanes, a business unit of The Boeing Company, is headquartered in Seattle, Washington and employs more than 60,000 people worldwide.
Jet Propulsion Laboratory
We are humanity’s leading center for exploring where humans cannot yet reach. Our spacecraft have flown to every planet and the Sun in a quest to understand our place in the universe, and to search for the possibility of life beyond Earth. Our missions honor the relentless pursuit of the explorer: Voyager, Curiosity, Cassini, Galileo.
We observe our home planet with missions to study our climate and assist in disaster recovery. We discover distant worlds with telescopes such as Hubble, for which JPL designed ingenious corrective optics. The giant antenna dishes of our Deep Space Network capture signals from nearly all spacecraft launched by the world into outer space.
Northrop Grumman
Northrop Grumman, the prime contractor for the James Webb Space Telescope, is pioneering across every sector of space, helping government, civil and commercial customers tackle some of their biggest challenges. Our forward-leaning, pioneering spirit is backed by a legacy of expertise that began at the dawn of the space age.
Center for Autonomous Systems
The Center for Autonomous Systems and Technologies (CAST) is a 10,000-square-foot facility where machines and researchers work together and learn from one another. At CAST, researchers from Caltech's Division of Engineering and Applied Science (EAS), Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences (GPS), and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) collaborate to create the next generation of autonomous systems, advancing the fields of drone research, autonomous exploration, and bio-inspired systems.
Raytheon Technologies
At Raytheon Technologies, we're accelerating ideas to solve some of the world's biggest challenges. We form an unrivaled company, with one team coming together across the globe to push the limits of known science and redefine how we connect and protect our world. We are advancing aviation, building smarter defense systems and creating innovations to take us deeper into space.
