Lockheed Martin and the University of Colorado at Boulder have announced multi-million dollar partnership to establish new academic programs at CU to develop the next generation of space engineers.

The $3 million sponsorship by Lockheed Martin will be spread over four years, and establish the Lockheed Martin Radio Frequency (RF) Space Systems Research Center which will feature new academic programs focused on RF systems.

We’ll talk with Zoya Popovic , a distinguished professor in the department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, Scott Palo, Associate Dean for research in the College of Engineering and Applied Science and Samuel Valenti, Director of Engineering and Technology Strategy for the Lockheed Martin Space Systems about the programs and the incredible relationship with Lockheed Martin as a partner in research and as an employer.
