For the seventh consecutive year, Lockheed Martin [NYSE:LMT] is a leading

astronomical discovery. Through a special arrangement with the publisher,
Lockheed Martin employees, retirees and stockholders nationwide are eligible

a colorful Landsat 7 image of the Bogda Mountains in China, and breathtaking
deep space images from the Spitzer Space Telescope and the Hubble Space
Telescope. Lockheed Martin's role as a partner in United Space Alliance, the
prime contractor for NASA's Space Shuttle Program, is also represented in
nearly a dozen weekly photos of the Space Shuttle in action in anticipation
of the Shuttle's return to flight.
In addition to the weekly photo essays, "The Year In Space" includes
informative articles about the International Space Station, remote sensing
satellites, planetary exploration in 2005 and the major space launches
scheduled for the upcoming year. "The Year In Space" can now be ordered at a
