Lockheed Martin says it can reduce the time it takes to build payloads and satellites for the U.S. Defense Department by about six weeks as a result of closing its Newtown, Pennsylvania, space system factory last year. In November 2013, Lockheed Martin announced it was shuttering its Space System division's operations in Newtown as part of a corporate-wide restructuring. That new organization called for a massive revamping of Lockheed Martin's Denver facilities and the promise of improved manufacturing, assembly and testing for its space manufacturing arm. In July, Lockheed Martin announced that the reorganization has led to the creation of what it calls the RF [Radio Frequency] Payload Center for Excellence. Previously the company's satellite payloads and payload components were developed, built and sometimes tested in Newtown before being shipped and integrated at Lockheed Martin facilities in Denver or Sunnyvale, California. Now, all of that work takes place at the center in Denver, which includes about 150 employees from the Newtown campus.

机译：洛克希德·马丁公司说，由于去年关闭了宾夕法尼亚州纽敦的太空系统工厂，它可以将为美国国防部制造有效载荷和卫星所需的时间减少大约六周。 2013年11月，洛克希德·马丁公司宣布将关闭其在新镇的太空系统部门的运营，这是整个公司重组的一部分。这个新组织要求对洛克希德·马丁公司的丹佛工厂进行大规模改造，并承诺改善其太空制造部门的制造，组装和测试。洛克希德·马丁公司（Lockheed Martin）在7月份宣布，重组已导致创建所谓的RF [Radio Frequency] Payload Center for Excellence。此前，该公司的卫星有效载荷和有效载荷组件是在Newtown开发，制造和测试的，然后在加利福尼亚州丹佛或森尼韦尔的洛克希德·马丁工厂进行运输和集成。现在，所有这些工作都在丹佛的中心进行，其中包括来自新镇园区的约150名员工。
