The Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory (LMSAL)[1] is part of the Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center (ATC) that is known primarily for its scientific work in the field of solar physics, astronomy and space weather. Located in Palo Alto, California, LMSAL is involved in many ground- and space-based missions that study the Sun, including SOHO, TRACE, Yohkoh, STEREO, GOES/SXI, Solar-B, AIA and HMI instruments for the Solar Dynamics Observatory, and was awarded the contract for the GOES Solar Ultra Violet Imaging (SUVI) and Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) instruments, and the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph program.

The LMSAL team is part of Lockheed Martin Space Systems and has close affiliations with NASA and the solar physics group at Stanford University.
