Positioning

Boeing's space unit makes 702-line GEO satellites, the SLS core stage, and MILNET/classified work, with Millennium Space (scored separately) as its proliferated-LEO arm and a troubled Starliner program carrying charges. It is the prime whose small-sat relevance runs through its subsidiary while the parent carries the legacy-program overhang. Segment financials are program-scoped (a filings pass owed).
