A Chinese-born engineer in the United States has been found guilty of passing space shuttle technology secrets to China, for more than 30 years. Dongfan "Greg" Chung, 73, is the first person to be found guilty under a federal law, introduced in 1996, to counter economic espionage.
Mr Chung worked for Rockwell International, and then Boeing, until the FBI investigation began in 2006. He will be sentenced in November, and could spend decades in prison.
