Amazon, Cisco & Lockheed Martin Join Hands to Bring Voice and Video Technology to the Moon

Technology majors Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) and defence major Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) recently announced that they will be collaborating to integrate unique human-machine interface technologies into NASA’s Orion spacecraft.

Following the news, shares of Amazon declined 1.9% on Wednesday. However, the stock pared its losses slightly to close at $3,291 in the extended trading session.

Strategic Impact

The partnership is aimed at providing astronauts with the benefits of far-field voice technology, AI and tablet-based video collaboration.

Under this collaboration, the Callisto technology demonstration will be integrated into NASA’s Orion spacecraft for the agency’s Artemis I uncrewed mission around the Moon and back to Earth.

While Callisto uses Amazon Alexa and Webex by Cisco to test and demonstrate commercial technology for deep space voice, video and whiteboarding communications, Lockheed Martin is leading the development and integration of the payload.

Management Commentary

The Vice-President of Amazon Alexa, Aaron Rubenson, said, “We’re proud to be working with Lockheed Martin to push the limits of voice technology and AI, and we hope Alexa’s role in the mission helps inspire future scientists, astronauts and engineers who will define this next era of space exploration.”
