Lockheed is currently doing a webinar about the National Team's lander. Paul Anderson of Lockheed Martin commented, stating that the plan was to have a six-day Lunar mission, with "5-6 EVAs".

Lockheed has also donated an Ascent Element mockup to the @RocketCenterUSA. Anderson also comments about an advantage of the National Team's lander's staged design, due to the ability to abort at any time with the independent ascent element. Furthermore, Anderson states there is a lot of common tech between Orion and the ILV.
