NASA to recover falling space telescope
NASA plans a rescue mission later in June to prevent its Swift Observatory from uncontrolled reentry into Earth's atmosphere. Using a commercial spacecraft developed by Arizona-based Katalyst Space, the mission aims to capture and boost the satellite's orbit, extending its operational life beyond two decades. The launch will be facilitated by Northrop Grumman’s Pegasus XL rocket, deployed via air-launch from a plane over the Pacific Ocean.
