Posted: Sat, Jul 21, 2007, 10:40 AM ET (1440 GMT)
Northrop Grumman confirmed Friday that it has acquired Scaled Composites, the developer of the SpaceShipOne and SpaceShipTwo suborbital spacecraft. Northrop, which previously acquired 40 percent of the Mojave, California-based company, increased its stake to 100 percent in a transaction earlier this month. A formal announcement about the deal is expected to be made on Monday. The acquisition will not affect the ongoing development of SpaceShipTwo, a suborbital commercial passenger spacecraft, for space tourism company Virgin Galactic.
