Initial O3b mPOWER satellite build completed

Boeing completed manufacturing and delivery of the final three spacecraft in SES's initial 13-satellite O3b mPOWER constellation from its El Segundo, California, satellite operation.

The delivered F11, F12, and F13 satellites complete the initial manufacturing program and were transferred to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station for launch preparations. Ten O3b mPOWER satellites were already on orbit when Boeing announced the milestone. Boeing says the commercial 702X platform and its software-defined payload architecture also serve as a baseline for U.S. military satellite communications programs.
