Boeing Partners with Translation App Tarjimly to Help Break Language Barriers

Boeing Commits $2 Million USD to Support Humanitarian Efforts Following Terrorist Attacks in Israel

A new partnership between Boeing and Tarjimly, an app-based language and translation service, has been announced in order to improve translation accessibility for refugees and immigrants worldwide.

The $100,000 multi-year investment from Boeing will assist Tarjimly in improving the app user experience and enable more than 10,000 translator connections for 5,000 refugees who require urgent language assistance. Refugees will receive humanitarian assistance twice as fast due to the rise in real-time support.

The most user-friendly translation service in the world, Tarjimly instantly connects refugees and aid organization’s with volunteer translators in more than 120 languages. There are 30 million refugees in the world, and 44% of them are unable to comprehend information or effectively communicate with those who are attempting to assist them. Language barriers severely harm newcomers and refugees by limiting their access to services that can help them, which increases their isolation, abuse, and systemic poverty.

By utilizing Boeing’s vibrant, multilingual, and international workforce, this partnership gives Boeing staff members the chance to volunteer as translators or interpreters by taking a Tarjimly-led training course.

Boeing has achieved a significant milestone by providing NASA with the second core stage of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.

This crucial component, crafted at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF), is set to propel the Artemis II crew into lunar orbit, marking humanity’s return to deep space after a 50-year hiatus.

The monumental Boeing-built rocket stage, the largest element of the Artemis II mission, will embark on a journey aboard the Pegasus barge, traveling 900 miles to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

Upon arrival, it will be meticulously integrated with other essential Artemis II components, including the upper stage, solid rocket boosters, and NASA’s Orion spacecraft within the iconic Vehicle Assembly Building. This intricate integration process is a vital step toward the eagerly anticipated Artemis II launch, slated for 2025.

“Boeing-built products helped land humankind on the moon in 1969, and we’re proud to continue that legacy through the Artemis generation,” remarked Dave Dutcher, vice president and program manager for Boeing’s SLS program. “Together, with NASA and our industry partners and suppliers, we are building the world’s most capable rocket and paving the way to deep space through America’s rocket factory in New Orleans.”

The delivery of Core Stage 2 marks a significant achievement in the evolution of the SLS rocket. Towering over 200 feet and powered by four RS-25 engines, this core stage, coupled with two solid-fueled booster rockets, will generate a staggering 8.8 million pounds of thrust. This immense power is crucial to launching Artemis II and future missions into the vast expanse of space.

The SLS rocket stands unparalleled in its capability to transport both crew and substantial cargo to the moon and beyond in a single launch. Its extraordinary capacity will facilitate the delivery of human-rated spacecraft, habitats, and scientific missions to destinations including the moon and Mars, ushering in a new era of space exploration.
