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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong>&nbsp;Satellites do a lot of work most people never see. They help connect troops and first responders, support communications when ground networks are weak or damaged, and collect data that helps operators understand what\u2019s happening on Earth and in space. As customers ask for faster delivery and more adaptable mission options, Boeing is working to increase output and expand the range of capabilities it can offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a>\u201cWe\u2019re aligning our space business to meet a market that is moving faster and asking for more flexibility,\u201d said Kay Sears, vice president and general manager of Boeing Space, Intelligence &amp; Weapons Systems. \u201cThat means increasing production throughput, broadening the portfolio and giving customers more options for how they field and scale capability over time.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Go deeper:<\/strong>&nbsp;Resolute combines Boeing\u2019s payload and mission expertise with Millennium\u2019s rapid production approach and common products. Boeing is targeting 26 satellite deliveries in 2026, and the production push is being supported by investments in common products, repeatable manufacturing approaches and tighter integration across Boeing and Millennium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Built on Millennium common products and flight-proven avionics with on-orbit heritage, Resolute is intended to support communications, sensing and other mission needs across multiple orbital paths. Boeing says it gives customers another option between very small satellites and larger, more complex systems that can take longer to build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"815\" src=\"https:\/\/airshowsinternationalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-12-1024x815.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/airshowsinternationalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-12-1024x815.png 1024w, https:\/\/airshowsinternationalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-12-300x239.png 300w, https:\/\/airshowsinternationalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-12-768x611.png 768w, https:\/\/airshowsinternationalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-12.png 1381w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ASIM, Apr 16 Boeing and subsidiary Millennium Space Systems are scaling space production and broadening their satellite portfolio as demand grows across defense and commercial markets.
