Boeing Preps Launch of Stacked Satellites With Electric Propulsion

Boeing has produced a set of 702SP small-platform satellites that will use an all-electric propulsion system when they are launched to space in February as a stacked pair.

SpaceX‘s Falcon 9 rocket will carry the ABS-3A and EUTELSAT 115 West B satellites to space together next month, Boeing said Friday.

Besides 702SP, the company said it also released the 702MP and 502 Phoenix satellite designs over the past four years.
