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."
