Boeing (NYSE: BA) has successfully launched its X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle on its eighth mission via a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Kennedy Space Center. The launch occurred at 11:50 PM ET on August 22, 2025.

The spaceplane features a new Boeing integrated service module to enhance payload capacity and will conduct several technology demonstrations, including laser communications and quantum inertial sensor testing. This mission comes less than six months after completing its seventh mission, which ended on March 7, 2025.

The X-37B, a government-industry partnership between Boeing, U.S. Air Force, and U.S. Space Force, has completed seven successful missions since 2010, accumulating over 4,200 days in space.

The mission will feature advanced experiments including high-bandwidth inter-satellite laser communications and testing of the most powerful quantum inertial sensor ever deployed in space.

The spaceplane, which has accumulated over 4,200 days in space since its first launch in 2010, will carry a service module to expand experimental capacity. The mission, supported by the Air Force Research Laboratory and Defense Innovation Unit, aims to enhance space capabilities and improve future architectures. The quantum inertial sensor will demonstrate precise navigation in GPS-denied environments, particularly valuable for deep space and cis-lunar operations.

Boeing (NYSE: BA) has successfully launched two additional O3b mPOWER satellites for SES aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The satellites, representing the 9th and 10th units of the constellation, are currently undergoing health checks and will begin their 130-day journey to Medium Earth Orbit (MEO).

The O3b mPOWER constellation, which entered commercial service in April 2024, provides high-throughput, low-latency connectivity to nearly 95% of the world's population. The satellites feature digitally formed beams and xenon thrusters, incorporating technology also used in military applications. These new additions will enhance the constellation's capacity, performance, and resilience beyond the initial six satellites.

Boeing (NYSE:BA) has released its 2025 Pilot and Technician Outlook (PTO), projecting a demand for nearly 2.4 million new aviation professionals through 2044. The forecast includes requirements for 660,000 pilots, 710,000 maintenance technicians, and 1 million cabin crew members.
