Two interesting bits of news were released Friday afternoon. First, our government had decided to intercept a descending spy satellite just before it re-enters the atmosphere. They said they were doing this because of "dangerous fuel" but wouldn't this burn up upon re-entry? Then the Defense Department announced that Raytheon Missile Systems, a unit of Raytheon Co. (NYSE: RTN) has won a $1 billion Missile Defense Agency contract boost to make 102 missiles for the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System.

Initially this was not enough missiles to help Raytheon's stock, which closed down 1% for the day to $65.65. However, when folks put the stories together in after hours trading RTN jumped 2.5% reaching $67.30 before the trading "pool" was cleared because the "lifeguards" had to go home, spoiling the late night speculators fun.

News from the air and defense industry:

Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA) has sold five 747-8s to Volga-Dnepr, the Russian air cargo company. The freighters, priced at a total of $1.4 billion, are scheduled for delivery between 2010 and 2013. Volga also secured the option to buy five more. According to the president of V-D, this is the largest Russian private plane purchase in history.

Boeing and Eurofighter are in the second round of their dogfight as South Korea opened the second phase of its procurement program for a new combat aircraft. In 2002, Boeing had won the first round and supplied the country with forty of its F-15K planes for $5.5 billion. Now, South Korea is prepared to order twenty more planes for delivery in 2010-2012. Eurofighter believes its Typhoon model is a stronger candidate now that it has been produced and deployed in other countries. However, The Korean Times quotes military sources as saying that Boeing has the inside track because of the previous order. A decision is expected next February.
