Amazon Collaborates With Lockheed Martin, Cisco

Lockheed Martin Corp LMT, Amazon.com Inc AMZN, and Cisco Systems Inc CSCO partnered to integrate unique human-machine interface technologies into NASA's Orion spacecraft. It would provide an opportunity to learn how future astronauts could benefit from far-field voice technology, AI, and tablet-based video collaboration.
The Callisto technology demonstration will be integrated into NASA's Orion spacecraft for the agency's Artemis I uncrewed mission around the Moon and back to Earth.
Callisto uses Amazon Alexa and Webex by Cisco to test and demonstrate commercial technology for deep space voice, video, and whiteboarding communications.
Lockheed Martin, which designed and built the Orion spacecraft for NASA, is leading the development and integration of the payload.
"Callisto will demonstrate a first-of-its-kind technology that could be used in the future to enable astronauts to be more self-reliant as they explore deep space," said Lisa Callahan, VP of Commercial Civil Space for Lockheed Martin.
Price Action: LMT shares traded lower by 0.27% at $361 in the premarket session on the last check Wednesday.
