Boeing Lands Contract for Small Classified Satellite

摘要

Boeing reported a 5 percent revenue increase in its Network & Space Systems division, to nearly $2 billion, during the first quarter of 2013 and also said it landed a small-satellite contract with an undisclosed customer. Commercial satellite programs, along with NASA's Space Launch System heavy-lift rocket, were the primary drivers of the division's growth compared with the same period last year, Boeing officials said in a press release and during an April 24 conference call with analysts. Boeing provided no details of the small-satellite contract in the press release or conference call. Boeing spokeswoman Diana Ball later said the contract was classified and declined to elaborate.
