LOCKHEED MARTIN SCAVENGER HUNTNATIONAL AIR AND SPACE MUSEUMAs part of our 100th anniversary commemoration, we’rehighlighting some of Lockheed Martin’s most notabletechnologies featured in The Smithsonian Institution’sNational Air and Space Museum on the National Mall inWashington, D.C.We invite you, your family, and your friends to visit themuseum and explore the exhibits featured in this guide. You’llsee air and space innovations from our past, present, andfuture—from the aircraft that broke transcontinental speedrecords in the 1920s, to a space telescope that spots far-offgalaxies, and the GPS satellites that will improve navigationfor years to come.This is our legacy. Ours is a story built on principles ofimagination, innovation and integrity, and rich with purposeand performance. We hope you feel as inspired as we do duringthe course of your visit. And don’t forget as you look to theskies: Dream big!• Stardust was the firstU.S. mission dedicatedto exploring a cometand returning physicalsamples from a cometto Earth.• Stardust launched fromCape Canaveral AirForce Station, Fla., onFeb. 7, 1999.• On Jan. 2, 2004,Stardust came withinapproximately 149miles of a comet, took72 images of its surface,and gathered particlesfrom a cloud of dustand ice surrounding thecomet.• Stardust’s samplessuccessfully returned toEarth on Jan. 15, 2006.Cover photo - NASA: Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle. Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor toNASA for the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, the nation’s first interplanetary spacecraft designedto carry astronauts beyond low Earth orbit on long-duration, deep-space missions to destinations suchas asteroids, Lagrangian Points or the moon. When paired with additional propulsion and life supportsystems, Orion will eventually be able to take humans to Mars.Object images courtesy of the Smithsonian Institution.Scan with your mobiledevice to learn more.Stardust CapsuleNATIONAL AIR AND SPACE MUSEUMLOCKHEED MARTIN SCAVENGER HUNT

Lindbergh and his wife, Anne MorrowLindbergh, purchased this airplane in 1929 for$22,825.• The Lindberghs set a coast-to-coast speedrecord in the airplane on April 20, 1930, but itsmost significant flights were in 1931 and 1933.Scan with your mobiledevice to learn more.• In 1931 the Lindberghs flew to the Orient,proving the viability of traveling from the West to the Far East viathe Great Circle route to the North. In 1933 they flew survey flightsacross the North and South Atlantic to gather information forplanning commercial air routes.• During their 1933 trip a Greenland Eskimo boy gave the aircraft itsnickname: “Tingmissartoq— one who flies like a big bird.”• Introduced in 1927, the Vega was the first productof designer Jack Northrop and Allan Loughead’sLockheed Aircraft Company.• The first Vega 1, named the Golden Eagle, flewfrom Lockheed’s Los Angeles plant on July 4,1927.• In 1928, Vega 5 Yankee Doodle was used to breaktranscontinental speed records.Scan with your mobiledevice to learn more.• On May 20–21, 1932, Amelia Earhart became the first woman tofly nonstop and solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She flew in this redLockheed Vega 5B.• Earhart called this plane her “Little Red Bus.”TingmissartoqNATIONAL AIR AND SPACE MUSEUMLOCKHEED MARTIN SCAVENGER HUNT

LOCKHEED MARTIN SCAVENGER HUNTF-104 StarfighterNATIONAL AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM• By 1943, mounting combat losses of Americanstrategic bombers to German propeller-driveninterceptors encouraged the United States topush for a new, more capable combat jet.• Lockheed Aircraft Corporation and Clarence“Kelly” Johnson were up to the challenge. Johnsonand a team of designers began work on a prototype,designated the XP-80, on June 21, 1943.Scan with your mobiledevice to learn more.• To keep the work secret, Johnson walled off the production area withdiscarded engine crates and a circus tent.• On Jan. 8, 1944, the Lockheed chief test pilot, Milo Burcham, tookwhat became known as the “Lulu-Belle” into the sky for the first time.During this flight, Burcham reached an impressive speed of 880 kph(547 mph) while flying straight and level.• Known as “the missile with a man in it,” the stubbywingedLockheed F-104 Starfighter was the firstU.S. jet fighter in service to fly Mach 2, twice thespeed of sound.• The F-104 was developed to compete againstSoviet MiGs in the early 1950s.• Designed as a high-performance day fighter, theF-104 had excellent acceleration and top speed. Itfirst flew on Feb. 7, 1954.Scan with your mobiledevice to learn more.• While built for the U.S. Air Force, most Starfighterswere flown by other countries, particularly Canada,Italy, Germany, and Japan.XP-80 “Lulu-Belle”NATIONAL AIR AND SPACE MUSEUMLOCKHEED MARTIN SCAVENGER HUNT
