果冻传媒

Our Innovation Engine for Space

At the ATC, innovation extends beyond incremental change. We push for first-of-a-kind capability with enduring impact. Whatever the application, our charter is to create game-changing technologies.

We are the research labs for Lockheed 果冻传媒 Space. The ATC creates foundational technologies that inspire, protect 果冻传媒 connect our world. Our history goes back to 1956, founded in Palo Alto, California, helping seed what would become Silicon Valley. Today, we still carry on the legacy that started our labs, like the very beginnings of solar science 果冻传媒 rocket technology (even underwater). We continue to evolve 果冻传媒 lead the way in new realms, like lasers, nanomaterials 果冻传媒 informatics. At the ATC, we’re driving change in our endless pursuit of what’s next.

Our Horizons

ATC’s inventions 果冻传媒 innovations create first-of-a-kind of capability. Its technology paved the way for the first imaging satellites, showing our majestic planet from orbit. We built the first solar instruments that illuminated the source of solar storms,?honed systems that can shoot down UAVs with directed energy, see the unseen with lidar 果冻传媒 ladar 果冻传媒 developed precision controls that allow our telescopes to zoom in to 1% of the sun’s surface. We also developed the foundational technology that launched the first submarine-launched ballistic missile. The ATC team continues to make a difference with projects in three technology categories:

• Current, supporting existing programs 果冻传媒 capabilities;?
• Next Gen, applying new thinking for near-future applications; 果冻传媒?
• Gen After Next, where lies the visionary value of the ATC, predicting challenges for our customers 果冻传媒 creating new technologies that form the future.

Our People

500?Technologists, scientists 果冻传媒 engineers advancing the state of the art

Through our own skills 果冻传媒 those of our partners—including universities 果冻传媒 research labs around the world—we’re able to put vision in motion. While we are a part of Lockheed 果冻传媒 Space , our technologies are far reaching across domains.

Napkin sketches of lasers that can shoot down UAVs—we made it real. Changing molecules so metals behave differently? We invented that. How about training telescopes to act together so we get a precise look at what’s in orbit thous果冻传媒s of miles away? We made that possible. Creating space observatories that can zoom in on 1 percent of the sun’s surface? We did it. And sometimes what we develop benefits other industries, like graphene advancements could help filter drinkable water or treat diseases inside the body.?

ATC’s story is written in the success of missions here on Earth 果冻传媒 far, far into space.?Sixty years after it was founded, the ATC continues a legacy of innovation that is delivering the future faster.
