Boeing WGS

Boeing has delivered the ninth and 10th O3b mPOWER satellites to SES ahead of a scheduled launch this summer.

The U.S. Space Force anticipates the initial use of a ground system developed to support its new protected tactical waveform on orbit in fiscal 2027.

A House-passed version of a bill to authorize defense spending for fiscal 2024 included a restriction on the use of any money to purchase another WGS spacecraft.

Benefits of bulk buys; VC-25 replacement delayed; Embraer’s European pitch; and Boeing to fly new prototype on WGS-11 satellite.

Boeing’s Protected Satcom Prototype payload is scheduled to fly on the 11th Wideband Global Satcom satellite, Boeing said April 13.
