                                EXPLANATORY NOTE


     Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed Martin" or the "Registrant") hereby
amends its Registration Statement on Form S-4 (No. 333-78279), declared
effective on May 12, 1999, as amended by Post Effective Amendment No. 1 to such
Registration Statement on Form S-4, declared effective on July 20, 1999 (as
amended, the "S-4"), by filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 on Form S-8
relating to up to 4,418,601 shares of common stock, $1.00 par value per share,
of Lockheed Martin ("Lockheed Martin Common Stock"), issuable pursuant to the
provisions of the COMSAT Corporation 1990 Key Employee Stock Plan, the COMSAT
Corporation 1993 Stock Option Plan, the COMSAT Corporation 1995 Key Employee
Stock Plan and the COMSAT Corporation Non-Employee Directors Stock Plan
(collectively, the "Plans"), all which have been assumed by Lockheed Martin
pursuant to the Merger Agreement defined and described below.

     Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of September 18, 1998
(the "Merger Agreement") among COMSAT Corporation, a District of Columbia
corporation ("COMSAT"), Lockheed Martin and Deneb Corporation, a Delaware
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin ("Deneb"), each
share of COMSAT common stock, no par value, issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the effective time of the merger described in the Merger Agreement was
converted into the right to receive one share of Lockheed Martin Common Stock.
At the effective time of the merger, each outstanding COMSAT stock option under
the Plans will constitute an option to acquire the equivalent number of Lockheed
Martin Common Stock that each optionee would have been entitled to receive had
the optionee exercised his or her stock option before the effective date of the
merger. No additional awards will be granted under the Plans.

     Before the merger, 4,418,601 shares of COMSAT common stock were reserved
and expected to be issued under the Plans. Lockheed Martin registered 39,342,917
shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock on the S-4, which included the 4,418,601
shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Plans after the
effective time of the merger.

          (d) The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in the
          Registrant's registration statement on Form 8-B filed with the
          Commission pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of
          1934 (the "Exchange Act") (as amended on Form 8-B/A filed on March 9,
          1995), and any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating
          such description.

          All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

          The Maryland General Corporation Law authorizes Maryland corporations
to limit the liability of directors and officers to the corporation or its
stockholders for money damages, except (a) to the extent that it is proved that
the person actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or
services, for the amount of the benefit or profit in money, property or services
actually received, (b) to the extent that a judgment or other final adjudication
adverse to the person is entered in a proceeding based on a finding that the
person's action or failure to act was the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding
or (c) in respect of certain other actions not applicable to the Registrant.

          Under the Maryland General Corporation Law, unless limited by charter,
indemnification is mandatory if a director or an officer has been successful on
the merits or otherwise in the defense of any proceeding by reason of his or her
service as a director unless such indemnification is not otherwise permitted as
described in the following sentence. Indemnification is permissive unless it is
established that (a) the act or omission of the director was material to the
matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the
result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director actually received
an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case
of any criminal proceeding, the director had reasonable cause to believe his or
her act or omission was unlawful.  In addition to the foregoing, a court of
appropriate jurisdiction may under certain circumstances order indemnification
if it determines that the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled
to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the
director or officer has met the standards of conduct set forth in the preceding
sentence or has been adjudged liable on the basis that a personal benefit was
improperly received in a proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the
director or officer.  If the proceeding was an action by or in the right of the
corporation or involved a determination that the director or officer received an
improper personal benefit, however, no indemnification may be made if the
individual is adjudged liable to the corporation, except to the extent of
expenses approved by a court of competent jurisdiction.

          Article XI of the charter of the Registrant limits the liability of
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Maryland General
Corporation Law.  Article XI of the charter of the Registrant also authorizes
the Registrant to adopt by-laws or resolutions to provide for the
indemnification of directors and officers.  Article VI of the By-laws of the
Registrant provides for the indemnification of the Registrant's directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Maryland General Corporation
Law.  In addition, the Registrant's directors and officers are covered by
certain insurance policies maintained by the Registrant.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed

          Not Applicable.

Item 8.  Exhibits

          See the attached Exhibit Index at page 10.


Item 9.  Undertakings

     (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

         (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
         made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

              (i)   To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of
              the Securities Act of 1933;

              (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
              after the effective date of the registration statement (or the
              most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually
              or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
              information set forth in the registration statement;

              (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
              of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
              statement or any material change to such information in the
              registration statement;

              Provided, however, that subparagraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not
              apply if the information required to be included in a post-
              effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
              reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
              Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the
              Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference
              in the registration statement.

         (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
         Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
         deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
         offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
         be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
         any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
         termination of the offering.
<PAGE>

     (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
     determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of
     the Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d)
     of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in
     the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
     statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
     such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
     offering thereof.

     (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
     Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
     of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
     Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
     Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
     expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
     claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
     by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
     controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
     action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
     controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
     Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
     settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
     jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
     public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
     adjudication of such issue.

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant

requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration

authorized, in the City of Bethesda, State of Maryland.
