From the searing heat to the bitter cold, our thermal protection materials defend aircraft structures in extreme environments ensuring reliability and durability. Lockheed Martin Space provides materials for aircraft and space vehicles including use aboard NASA’s InSight Mars lander and previously on the Space Shuttle External Fuel Tank.

By protecting platforms in the most extreme environments, our fire protection and thermal management materials can extend the useful life of aircraft structures. We specialize in both ablative materials and topcoats for commercial and military use.

We provide technical assistance for efficient, cost effective solutions to thermal control problems, including production selection, material processing, and application techniques. Novel Application materials are continually being developed based on specific user requirements. Lockheed Martin insulating materials are currently referenced in BMS 10-102, PWA 36752, GE A50TF122 & RMS-039 specifications for aircraft engine nacelle, thrust reverser fire protection and helicopter cowlings.
