Boeing, NASA to Develop Future-X Pathfinder

A government-industry team led by Boeing Co.’s space and communications unit won a four-year cooperative agreement with NASA to develop the Future-X Pathfinder, an un-piloted, reusable vehicle meant to test advanced space technologies. The agreement splits costs between NASA and the Boeing team and is worth an estimated $150 million. Boeing’s Palmdale unit will be involved in assembly, integration and flight tests.
