Boeing And Millennium Scale Space Production To Meet Growing Demand.

EL SEGUNDO, California; April 2026: Boeing and its subsidiary Millennium Space Systems are expanding space production capacity and broadening their satellite portfolio to help government and commercial customers field capability faster and with greater flexibility.

Boeing and subsidiary Millennium Space Systems are scaling production and expanding their combined satellite portfolio to deliver on current commitments and meet rising demand across defense and commercial markets. The dual approach is intended to meet rising demand across defense and commercial space markets for architectures that can scale more efficiently, adapt as mission needs change and move faster from concept to orbit. By combining Boeing’s payload and mission expertise with Millennium’s rapid production approach and common products, the teams are increasing throughput while expanding the range of mission-ready options available to customers.

The effort includes Resolute, a new mid-class satellite platform designed for missions that need more capability than a traditional small satellite can provide, with greater speed and flexibility than a typical large satellite program. “We’re aligning our space business to meet a market that is moving faster and asking for more flexibility”, said Kay Sears, Vice President and General Manager of Boeing Space, Intelligence & Weapons Systems. “That means increasing production throughput, broadening the portfolio and giving customers more options for how they field and scale capability over time”.

With more than 60 years of satellite heritage, Boeing continues to invest in space technologies, production capability and mission architectures that help customers deploy, operate and evolve capability in a changing environment. Boeing is targeting 26 satellite deliveries in 2026 as it works to increase output across its space portfolio. That production focus is being supported by investments in common products, repeatable manufacturing approaches and integration across Boeing and Millennium products

Together, Boeing and Millennium are combining mission heritage, payload expertise and faster production to give customers more practical options for fielding capability. As part of that effort, Boeing and Millennium are announcing Resolute, a new mid-class satellite platform designed for missions that need more capability than a traditional small satellite can provide, with greater speed and flexibility than a typical large satellite program. Built on Millennium common products and flight-proven avionics with on-orbit heritage, the platform is intended to give customers a more adaptable option for communications, sensing and other mission needs across multiple orbital regimes.

“This is about more than one product”, said Tony Gingiss, CEO of Millennium Space Systems. “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 production capacity to support a growing backlog and a broader mix of customer needs. The company’s production model is designed to support higher-rate manufacturing while preserving the flexibility to tailor spacecraft for specific missions.
