As vice president of mission systems and solutions, Maria Demaree is proud to go to work every day for Lockheed Martin, supporting its customers’ missions in aerospace around the globe. “I don’t think there could be a more exciting time for the space industry,” she told FedScoop. “We are committed to getting humans and technology into space to support our customer’s most interesting and exciting missions. We are embracing technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning and data analytics in ways I could have only dreamed of at the start of my career. These capabilities will help astronauts on the long mission to Mars, and satellites are going to be more flexible and powerful. … We are just at the tip of the iceberg with these capabilities.”
