In the early 1990s, General Electric (founded in 1892, 120
years ago) purchased the RCA Corporation (founded in 1919, 93 years ago and
originally a split-off of GE). GE Aerospace, the combination of GE Space and
RCA Aero-Astro, was sold in the mid-1990s to Martin Marietta, which subsequently
merged with Lockheed Martin. As such, the Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company
(SSC), in effect, is celebrating its 120th birthday this year.
