We’re well into our sixth decade of providing advanced space and communications systems for military, commercial and scientific uses. Boeing satellites reliably deliver digital communications, mobile communications, broadband internet connectivity, telephone calls, television programming and direct-to-home entertainment around the world. Our flagship satellite model, the Boeing 702, is a powerful, scalable product line offering flexible designs that can operate in the geosynchronous, medium-Earth or low-Earth orbital planes. More than 50 have been launched to date. Our newest version is the 702X. READ MORE ABOUT THE 702X Commercial Satellites Building the Future of Connectivity Together Boeing Commercial Satellites designs and sells communications satellites and payloads for commercial telecommunications, broadband, scientific and environmental applications. Boeing-built spacecraft routinely relay digital communications, mobile communications, internet connectivity, telephone calls, video conferences, television programming and direct-to-home entertainment. Programs include O3b mPOWER, an eleven-satellite MEO constellation that will provide high-performance low-latency data communications to telcos, MNOs, governments, enterprises, aero fleets, cruise lines and other network service providers globally, covering 96% of the earth’s population and four-fifths of the earth’s surface; and JCSAT-18/Kacific1, a single satellite with two distinct payloads that will improve mobile and broadband services in the Asia-Pacific region and provide high-speed broadband internet to more than 25 countries in South East Asia and the Pacific. Satellite Services Boeing Commercial Satellite Services (BCSS) delivers satellite communications to our partners operating on land, sea, and in air. We offer secure, scalable, military-grade solutions that are flexible and responsive to demanding, dynamic mission needs. Government Satellites Protecting What Matters Boeing Government Satellite Systems delivers the company’s major satellite and ground solutions for military and civil communications, intelligence, national defense and other classified programs. Programs include the Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) system comprising the U.S. Department of Defense’s highest-capacity military communications satellites; Global Positioning System (GPS) IIF block of satellites, which are now providing advanced navigation services to modernize the constellation; and six NASA Tracking and Data Relay Satellites. Boeing also provided the Space Based Space Surveillance (SBSS) system, the only space-based sensor in the U.S. Air Force Space Surveillance Network with the ability to detect distant space objects regardless of weather, atmosphere or time of day. These systems supply communications and position, navigation and timing technology for domestic and international customers and meet many of the military and civil space system requirements of the U.S. government. In addition, Boeing is the prime contractor for the X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle, the newest and most advanced unmanned re-entry spacecraft used by the U.S. Air Force to perform risk-reduction and experimentation for reusable space vehicle technologies.
