Posted: Sat, Dec 20, 2008, 12:27 PM ET (1727 GMT)
Boeing announced Friday that it has won a contract to launch the fourth and final satellite for an Italian remote sensing system. A United Launch Alliance Delta 2 will launch Cosmo-Skymed 4 in 2010 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, in a launch procured by Boeing Launch Services, which sells Delta launches commercially. Delta rockets launched the first three Cosmo-Skymed satellites in 2007 and 2008. The Cosmo-Skymed satellites are built by Thales Alenia Space Italia for the Italian Space Agency and the Italian Ministry of Defense, providing synthetic aperture radar imagery.
