The companies said they are scaling production and combining their satellite offerings to meet existing commitments and rising demand. This approach includes the introduction of Resolute, a new mid-class satellite platform designed for missions requiring greater capability than traditional small satellites while maintaining faster timelines than larger satellite programs.
Boeing and Millennium are integrating mission heritage, payload expertise, and rapid production processes to expand available options for customers. The initiative is intended to support architectures that can scale efficiently, adapt to changing mission needs, and move more quickly from concept to orbit.
Kay Sears, vice president and general manager of Space, Intelligence & Weapons Systems at Boeing, said: “We’re aligning our space business to meet a market that is moving faster and asking for more flexibility.” She added: “That means increasing production throughput, broadening the portfolio and giving customers more options for how they field and scale capability over time.”
Boeing is targeting 26 satellite deliveries in 2026 as part of efforts to increase output across its space portfolio. The company said this production focus is supported by investments in common products, repeatable manufacturing processes, and integration across Boeing and Millennium systems.
The newly announced Resolute platform is built on Millennium’s common products and flight-proven avionics with on-orbit heritage. It is designed to provide adaptable solutions for communications, sensing, and other mission requirements across multiple orbital regimes.
Tony Gingiss, chief executive officer of Millennium Space Systems, said: “This is about more than one product.” He added: “We are building the production depth, common architecture and capacity to scale with demand. That includes expanding into mission areas where customers want more capability, while staying focused on execution and delivery across the backlog already in front of us.”
Millennium continues to scale its production capacity to support a growing backlog and a wider range of customer requirements. The company said its manufacturing model is designed to enable higher production rates while maintaining flexibility to tailor spacecraft for specific missions.
With more than 60 years of satellite heritage, Boeing said it continues to invest in space technologies, production capabilities, and mission architectures. These efforts are intended to support customers in deploying, operating, and evolving capabilities in a changing space environment.
