Two Boeing-Built O3b mPOWER Satellites Successfully Launch, Enhancing SES Constellation
BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, JUL 22 – The successful launch of the 9th and 10th satellites boosts SES's O3b mPOWER constellation capacity toward a threefold increase by 2027, enhancing global internet connectivity.
- From Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Boeing-built satellites lifted off aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 at 5:12 p.m. EDT on July 22, 2025.
- Amid rising demand, O3b mPOWER delivers high-capacity internet globally to less connected regions and mobility assets, initial satellites online in 2024 serve mobility, government, enterprise and cloud customers.
- About two hours after liftoff, the satellites separated, Boeing team in El Segundo initiated health checks and they will use xenon thrusters over a 130-day journey to MEO at ~8,000 km, leveraging digitally formed beams hardened for military use.
- Boosting global reach, the network hits ten satellites in orbit, providing coverage to nearly 95% of the world’s population.
- Once fully deployed by 2027, SES expects a threefold increase in system capacity as three more satellites scheduled for 2026 launch complete the constellation.
