I've never come across a name for the skunk, and, strangely, it's never occurred to me to ask. I've had a look and it appears to not have a name, but this is a great question and I'll do my best to find out.
The time between skunk launches, or the frequency of launching skunkworks projects, can vary widely depending on the organization's goals, resources, and project complexity. Typically, organizations may initiate multiple skunkworks projects simultaneously or stagger them based on strategic priorities. In some cases, launches might occur monthly, quarterly, or even annually, depending on the innovation cycle and development timelines. Ultimately, the specific duration is determined by the unique circumstances of each project and the overarching innovation strategy.
The unit was officially located at Area 51of the Nevada Test Site, assembled at Lockheeds famous Skunkworks facility in California.
