The 2022-12-16 launch delivered Boeing’s 702X-based O3b mPOWER communications satellite to orbit.
Boeing’s O3b mPOWER satellite will help deliver broadband internet access to the ‘other 3 billion’ people around the globe where access is limited or nonexistent.
The Boeing-built O3b mPower satellites use onboard all-electric propulsion and will take about five months to reach their orbital positions.
Each O3b mPower satellite is based on a modified version of Boeing’s 702 platform and is designed to generate up to around 5,000 electronically steered spot beams.
Boeing partnered with SES to create a supercomputer constellation in space using the 702X platform, with SES as the platform’s first user.
Boeing is contracted to deliver 11 O3b mPOWER satellites to SES and is continuing production, integration, and testing of the remaining nine spacecraft.
Each O3b mPOWER satellite combines Boeing’s flight-proven 702 platform, Boeing subsidiary Spectrolab’s custom-designed solar arrays, and the 702X software-defined payload.
Spectrolab is a Boeing subsidiary that manufactured custom-designed solar arrays for the O3b mPOWER satellites built to withstand harsh MEO radiation.
Redwire developed the iROSA arrays and delivered them to NASA under contract with Boeing, NASA’s prime contractor for space station operations.
