CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- The war on terrorism could mean more business for Space Coast rockets, said U.S. Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla.

Touring Boeing's Delta 4 launch pad and preparation facilities Tuesday, Graham said the nation should not forget about launching and perfecting spy satellites while building networks of human spies.

The satellites launched on new rockets from Boeing and Lockheed Martin could also be different than the devices shot into space today.

"We have in recent years focused on large, complex and highly expensive satellites," said Graham, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. "In time, we may move to larger number of smaller satellites or even satellites that you could put in warehouses awaiting the next crisis that you could put up to cover a specific area."

Boeing and Lockheed Martin have invested hundreds of millions of dollars each in new launch complexes at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station to handle the next generation of unmanned rockets.

Lockheed Martin's Atlas 5 and the Delta 4 were built to loft larger satellites than their predecessors.

The Pentagon, which gave each company $500 million to start their respective programs, is expected to be a major customer.
