BETHESDA, Md., Aug. 1 /PRNewswire/ — Bob Stevens, Chairman, President
and Chief Executive Officer of Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE: LMT), was
inducted today as a Full Member of the International Academy of
Astronautics (IAA). Dr. Edward Stone, IAA president, and Dr. Jean-Michel
Contant, IAA secretary-general, presented Stevens with a Full Member pin
and certificate at the company’s headquarters in Bethesda, Md.

“I’m deeply honored to have been elected to this very prestigious
international organization. The IAA is especially distinctive in that it is
the only international academy of elected members in the broad area of
astronautics and space. I’m also very proud of the fact that Lockheed
Martin has an active engagement in the IAA,” said Stevens.

“It is a pleasure to welcome Bob Stevens as a member of the Academy in
recognition of his distinguished career as a leader in space and
astronautics,” said Dr. Stone. “We look forward to working with him in
helping shape and inform the future of this newest realm of human activity
by fostering an international community committed to expanding the
frontiers of space for the benefit of humankind.”

The International Academy of Astronautics was founded in Stockholm in
August 1960. Since that time, IAA has brought together the world’s foremost
experts in the disciplines of astronautics on a regular basis to recognize
the accomplishments of their peers, to explore and discuss cutting-edge
issues in space research and technology, and to provide direction and
guidance in the non-military uses of space and the ongoing exploration of
the solar system. IAA has 1200 members from 74 countries.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin employs about 140,000
people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design,
development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced
technology systems, products and services. The Corporation reported 2007
sales of $41.9 billion.
