Boeing and Millennium Unveil Mid-Class ‘Resolute’ Satellite as They Scale Production

The shift targets quicker delivery with flexible architectures to compete with lower‑cost suppliers.

Overview

  • Boeing and its subsidiary Millennium Space Systems announced a joint push to expand satellite manufacturing and introduced Resolute, a new mid-class platform.
  • Resolute is built on Millennium’s common products and flight-proven avionics to offer more capability than small satellites with faster timelines than traditional large programs.
  • Boeing set a target of 26 satellite deliveries in 2026 as it moves to raise output across its space portfolio.
  • Executives said the plan pairs Boeing’s payload heritage with Millennium’s rapid, repeatable production to give customers more options and quicker fielding.
  • SpaceNews reported the design targets the emerging “micro GEO” range of roughly 2–4 kilowatts, a class that helps countries deploy smaller, cheaper geostationary satellites for communications and sensing.
