As a result, the dismantling and subsequent selling off of Comsat, which Lockheed Martin acquired last year, will continue until the business that was Comsat no longer exists. Comsat was formed in the 1960's as the US representative and shareholder in international satellite operators Intelsat and Inmarsat.
