Hughes has been handed over the on-orbit operations of the Spaceway 3 satellite on December 18th 2007. This was a historic occasion and CEO Pradman Kaul thanked the Boeing team for successfully placing the satellite in the orbit. With this Hughes will move aggressively to provide broadband communication services to enterprises, consumer, Small and Medium businesses and the Government sector.

By Brian Bradshaw
In Martin Scorsese’s movie, The Aviator, the life of Howard Hughes was fully glamorized. The company he founded, Hughes Aircraft, and later Hughes Space and Communications, was obviously noteworthy. These companies built airplanes, helicopters, missiles, radar systems, satellites, and interplanetary exploration vehicles. The company built the first working laser, aircraft computer systems, and ion-propulsion engines.
In 2000, Hughes sold it’s Space and Communications divisions to Boeing, and in 2003, Hughes sold effective controlling interest (39%) in DirecTV to News Corporation/Fox Broadcasting (Rupert Murdoch).
