Boeing Space builds spacecraft, including Starliner, and is expanding satellite production to meet missile-warning demand.
Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
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).

HEO sells Non-Earth Imaging services to government and intelligence customers, providing imagery of spacecraft and other objects in orbit.
Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
HEO is an Australian company (Sydney) and the category creator of commercial non-Earth imaging (photographing satellites from other satellites), with seven first-generation camera missions and its Adler Mk2 GEO-hardened camera flying in 2026, plus >50 sensors accessible after a Planet SkySat integration (August 2026). It is the asset-light space-domain-awareness model (cameras in the right place, not big satellites), acquired Satellogic's NewSat-34 (Australia's first sovereign sub-meter imaging asset), and moved its NRO relationship to operational integration (a February 2026 CSO contract). Revenue is estimated at 10-100m (the NRO contract is small-dollar, seven-figure class).
