Lockheed Martin and Nokia are bringing Earth communication devices to the Moon
While NASA is about to reveal the astronaut crew that will return to the Moon aboard the Artemis 2 mission, private companies are already aligning behind the US space agency to turn Earth’s only natural satellite into a new business frontier. Reliable communication is the number one requirement for future…
New Lockheed Martin Company Wants to Build a Satellite Constellation Around the Moon
Denver-based company Lockheed Martin has announced the launch of a subsidiary for the purpose of setting up communication and navigation services around the Moon for future lunar missions.
Lockheed Martin is building a Moon-to-Earth satellite communications network
If humanity is going to have a long-term presence on the Moon, it’s going to need reliable communications — and Lockheed Martin thinks it can provide that link. The company has created a spinoff devoted to lunar infrastructure, Crescent Space, whose first project is a Moon-to-Earth satellite network. Parsec, as it’s called, uses a constellation of small lunar satellites to provide a non-stop connection between astronauts, their equipment and the people back home. The system will also provide navigation help.
The technology should help explorers keep in touch, and assist with spacecraft course changes. As Lockheed Martin explains, though, it could prove vital to those on lunar soil. Parsec’s nodes create a lunar equivalent to GPS, giving astronauts their exact positions and directions back to base. A rover crew might know how to return home without driving into a dangerous crater, for instance.
Crescent’s first Parsec nodes should be operational by 2025, with Lockheed Martin providing the satellites. And before you ask: yes, the company is clearly hoping for some big customers. CEO Joe Landon (formerly a Lockheed Martin Space VP) claims Crescent is “well positioned” to support NASA’s Artemis Moon landings and other exploratory missions.
The startup may seem premature when NASA’s Artemis program won’t even conduct a lunar flyby until late 2024, and a landing at the end of 2025. However, there’s already a clear race to the Moon that includes national efforts from the US and China as well as private projects like SpaceX’s lunar tourism. Crescent could help Lockheed Martin profit from that rush without disrupting its existing businesses.

Apple’s Martin Scorsese movie hits theaters in October before its TV+ debut
Apple’s long-expected Martin Scorsese movie has a release date — for theaters, that is. The company has revealed that Killers of the Flower Moon will get a wide theatrical release on October 20th following a “limited” run starting October 6th. The company hasn’t said when the film will be available to Apple TV+ users, but the streaming launch will come after the theater exclusivity period ends. This is Apple’s first movie to get a widescale big-screen debut before going online.
Killers of the Flower Moon is an adaptation of David Grann’s namesake book. It covers the fledgling FBI’s investigation of murders of Osage Nation members in the early 1920s after the tribe won rights to oil profits on its land. Scorsese both directed the movie and co-wrote it alongside Eric Roth (of Dune and Mank fame). The cast includes more than a few big-name stars and Scorsese favorites, including Robert DeNiro, Leonardo DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone.
Scorsese struck a multi-year deal with Apple in spring 2020 that covered both movie and television projects. While the exact terms aren’t clear, Killers reportedly has a budget topping $180 million. The pact came just months after Netflix’s Scorsese film, The Irishman, received a massive audience but failed to win any Oscars.
The strategy of releasing a movie in theaters first isn’t new. Industry awards like the Oscars frequently require movies to show in theaters before they qualify, and it’s no secret that streaming giants like Apple, Amazon and Netflix chase after these awards for the publicity they bring. Apple’s CODA was the first streamer to win a Best Picture Oscar, for instance. The scope of this premiere is new to Apple, though, and the company is clearly willing to spend on A-list talent to potentially clinch some statuettes and boost its credibility in Hollywood.
