702SPSatelliteThe newest, highly capable satellite design in the Boeing product portfolio

702 Satellite Family

In 2012, Boeing introduced the newest satellite design in its product portfolio, the Boeing 702SP. The 702SP operates across a wide range of payload power. The 702SP features all electric propulsion, which minimizes spacecraft launch mass and maximizes payload capability for NASA missions. The electric propulsion design is also highly efficient, allowing for lower cost deep space mission capabilities. In addition, 702SP also features a next-generation avionics architecture, which simplifies operations and provides improved access to data for evaluation of the spacecraft’s health, and greater mission flexibility.

The 702SP’s lightweight system design accommodates for launch on most commercial launch systems. Because of its lower mass, two 702SP satellites can be launched on a single Falcon 9 or other low cost launch vehicle, resulting in a cost savings of up to 50 percent when compared with existing launch options. Boeing is pleased to offer the 702SP to the NASA Rapid III catalog.
