Arconic Defense and Space What We Do Defense and Space Across air, land and sea, our defense innovations maximize speed, agility and survivability. Collaborating with military and business partners, we create multi-material solutions that are lighter, faster, stronger and more cost effective. In space, our materials science expertise helped land the Apollo spacecraft on the moon and launch the shuttle program. We continue to advance space exploration with solutions for launch vehicles, propulsion, crew capsules, and more.
