SEGUNDO, Calif., July 19,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Millennium Space Systems, A
Boeing Company [NYSE: BA], officially commemorated its Small
Satellite Factory, July 18, 2023.
First unveiled in 2022, SSF is fulfilling the needs of the
company's increased contracts for proliferated constellations.
"We ramped up our production capacity for our customers' needs,"
said Jason Kim, CEO of Millennium
Space Systems. "I can't talk about most of our national security
space missions, but what I can tell you is our programs demand
high-throughput production."
The company's ability to reduce risk and move fast is enabled by
its flight-proven ALTAIR spacecraft – developed and invested in
since 2015. The SSF supports the company's active production lines
and vertical integration of mature in-house components, bringing in
software re-use, digital engineering, and design for
manufacturability and test.

for national security space missions."
