  • Boeing and its unit Millennium Space Systems said they will scale space production and introduce the Resolute satellite platform, with a goal of 26 satellite deliveries in 2026 versus 11 in 2025.
  • Resolute is designed for government and commercial missions that require more power and payload than typical smallsats but need quicker, lower-cost delivery than large satellites.
  • The U.S. Army awarded Boeing a $324 million contract for six CH-47F Block II Chinook helicopters, bringing the number of Block II aircraft under contract to 24.
  • Boeing reported 143 commercial jet deliveries in the first quarter, including 114 737s, 15 787s, 8 777s, and 6 767s.
