Background:

Background: Boeing Co on Monday [Dec 15] filed a protest with the Government Accountability Office about a $1.1 billion contract for next-generation weather satellites won by Lockheed Martin Corp on December 2.
"Based on the information that we received, we felt that we had a superior product under the disclosed evaluation criteria."
The contract, awarded by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), calls for Lockheed to build two Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite R-Series, known as GOES-R, and includes options for two additional spacecraft.
