what is the growth rate in operating profit for space systems in 2011?,"2011 compared to 2010 mst 2019s net sales for 2011 decreased $ 311 million , or 4% ( 4 % ) , compared to 2010 . the decrease was attributable to decreased volume of approximately $ 390 million for certain ship and aviation system programs ( primarily maritime patrol aircraft and ptds ) and approximately $ 75 million for training and logistics solutions programs . partially offsetting these decreases was higher sales of about $ 165 million from production on the lcs program . mst 2019s operating profit for 2011 decreased $ 68 million , or 10% ( 10 % ) , compared to 2010 . the decrease was attributable to decreased operating profit of approximately $ 55 million as a result of increased reserves for contract cost matters on various ship and aviation system programs ( including the terminated presidential helicopter program ) and approximately $ 40 million due to lower volume and increased reserves on training and logistics solutions . partially offsetting these decreases was higher operating profit of approximately $ 30 million in 2011 primarily due to the recognition of reserves on certain undersea systems programs in 2010 . adjustments not related to volume , including net profit rate adjustments described above , were approximately $ 55 million lower in 2011 compared to 2010 . backlog backlog increased in 2012 compared to 2011 mainly due to increased orders on ship and aviation system programs ( primarily mh-60 and lcs ) , partially offset decreased orders and higher sales volume on integrated warfare systems and sensors programs ( primarily aegis ) . backlog decreased slightly in 2011 compared to 2010 primarily due to higher sales volume on various integrated warfare systems and sensors programs . trends we expect mst 2019s net sales to decline in 2013 in the low single digit percentage range as compared to 2012 due to the completion of ptds deliveries in 2012 and expected lower volume on training services programs . operating profit and margin are expected to increase slightly from 2012 levels primarily due to anticipated improved contract performance . space systems our space systems business segment is engaged in the research and development , design , engineering , and production of satellites , strategic and defensive missile systems , and space transportation systems . space systems is also responsible for various classified systems and services in support of vital national security systems . space systems 2019 major programs include the space-based infrared system ( sbirs ) , advanced extremely high frequency ( aehf ) system , mobile user objective system ( muos ) , global positioning satellite ( gps ) iii system , geostationary operational environmental satellite r-series ( goes-r ) , trident ii d5 fleet ballistic missile , and orion . operating results for our space systems business segment include our equity interests in united launch alliance ( ula ) , which provides expendable launch services for the u.s . government , united space alliance ( usa ) , which provided processing activities for the space shuttle program and is winding down following the completion of the last space shuttle mission in 2011 , and a joint venture that manages the u.k . 2019s atomic weapons establishment program . space systems 2019 operating results included the following ( in millions ) : .\n||2012|2011|2010|\n|net sales|$ 8347|$ 8161|$ 8268|\n|operating profit|1083|1063|1030|\n|operating margins|13.0% ( 13.0 % )|13.0% ( 13.0 % )|12.5% ( 12.5 % )|\n|backlog at year-end|18100|16000|17800|\n2012 compared to 2011 space systems 2019 net sales for 2012 increased $ 186 million , or 2% ( 2 % ) , compared to 2011 . the increase was attributable to higher net sales of approximately $ 150 million due to increased commercial satellite deliveries ( two commercial satellites delivered in 2012 compared to one during 2011 ) ; about $ 125 million from the orion program due to higher volume and an increase in risk retirements ; and approximately $ 70 million from increased volume on various strategic and defensive missile programs . partially offsetting the increases were lower net sales of approximately $ 105 million from certain government satellite programs ( primarily sbirs and muos ) as a result of decreased volume and a decline in risk retirements ; and about $ 55 million from the nasa external tank program , which ended in connection with the completion of the space shuttle program in 2011.",0.03204

what is the percentage change in fair value of forward exchange contracts asset from 2010 to 2011?,"we hold an interest rate swap agreement to hedge the benchmark interest rate of our $ 375 million 5.0% ( 5.0 % ) senior unsecured notes due july 1 , 2014 . the effect of the swap is to convert our 5.0% ( 5.0 % ) fixed interest rate to a variable interest rate based on the three-month libor plus 2.05% ( 2.05 % ) ( 2.42% ( 2.42 % ) as of october 29 , 2011 ) . in addition , we have a term loan facility of $ 145 million that bears interest at a fluctuating rate for each period equal to the libor rate corresponding with the tenor of the interest period plus a spread of 1.25% ( 1.25 % ) ( 1.61% ( 1.61 % ) as of october 29 , 2011 ) . if libor increases by 100 basis points , our annual interest expense would increase by approximately $ 5 million . however , this hypothetical change in interest rates would not impact the interest expense on our $ 375 million of 3% ( 3 % ) fixed-rate debt , which is not hedged . as of october 30 , 2010 , a similar 100 basis point increase in libor would have resulted in an increase of approximately $ 4 million to our annual interest expense . foreign currency exposure as more fully described in note 2i in the notes to consolidated financial statements contained in item 8 of this annual report on form 10-k , we regularly hedge our non-u.s . dollar-based exposures by entering into forward foreign currency exchange contracts . the terms of these contracts are for periods matching the duration of the underlying exposure and generally range from one month to twelve months . currently , our largest foreign currency exposure is the euro , primarily because our european operations have the highest proportion of our local currency denominated expenses . relative to foreign currency exposures existing at october 29 , 2011 and october 30 , 2010 , a 10% ( 10 % ) unfavorable movement in foreign currency exchange rates over the course of the year would expose us to approximately $ 6 million in losses in earnings or cash flows . the market risk associated with our derivative instruments results from currency exchange rates that are expected to offset the market risk of the underlying transactions , assets and liabilities being hedged . the counterparties to the agreements relating to our foreign exchange instruments consist of a number of major international financial institutions with high credit ratings . based on the credit ratings of our counterparties as of october 29 , 2011 , we do not believe that there is significant risk of nonperformance by them . while the contract or notional amounts of derivative financial instruments provide one measure of the volume of these transactions , they do not represent the amount of our exposure to credit risk . the amounts potentially subject to credit risk ( arising from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts ) are generally limited to the amounts , if any , by which the counterparties 2019 obligations under the contracts exceed our obligations to the counterparties . the following table illustrates the effect that a 10% ( 10 % ) unfavorable or favorable movement in foreign currency exchange rates , relative to the u.s . dollar , would have on the fair value of our forward exchange contracts as of october 29 , 2011 and october 30 , 2010: .\n||october 29 2011|october 30 2010|\n|fair value of forward exchange contracts asset|$ 2472|$ 7256|\n|fair value of forward exchange contracts after a 10% ( 10 % ) unfavorable movement in foreign currency exchange rates asset|$ 17859|$ 22062|\n|fair value of forward exchange contracts after a 10% ( 10 % ) favorable movement in foreign currency exchange rates liability|$ -13332 ( 13332 )|$ -7396 ( 7396 )|\nfair value of forward exchange contracts after a 10% ( 10 % ) unfavorable movement in foreign currency exchange rates asset . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 17859 $ 22062 fair value of forward exchange contracts after a 10% ( 10 % ) favorable movement in foreign currency exchange rates liability . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ ( 13332 ) $ ( 7396 ) the calculation assumes that each exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the u.s . dollar . in addition to the direct effects of changes in exchange rates , such changes typically affect the volume of sales or the foreign currency sales price as competitors 2019 products become more or less attractive . our sensitivity analysis of the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates does not factor in a potential change in sales levels or local currency selling prices.",-0.6593
