Robotic mission aims to lift NASA’s Swift Observatory
NASA prepares rescue mission for Swift NASA is preparing a $30 million robotic mission to prevent the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory from re-entering Earth’s atmosphere after two decades of service in space. The agency has described the effort as a race against time and gravity, as the aging telescope continues to lose altitude because of orbital decay. The mission will be led by Katalyst Space Technologies, a startup developing a three-armed spacecra

PSLV-C62 launch faces anomaly in third stage, ISRO begins detailed analysis
The Indian Space Research Organisation experienced a tense morning on Tuesday after the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle C62 lifted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota at 10.18 am carrying a total of 16 satellites. The mission initially appeared to progress as planned, with scientists closely monitoring each phase of the flight. However, around 30 minutes after liftoff, ISRO confirmed that the mission had encountered an anomaly during the third stage of the launch sequence, r

Sunita Williams Takes Command of the International Space Station
Indian-origin NASA astronaut Sunita Williams has made history once again by becoming the commander of the International Space Station (ISS). Her journey to this pivotal role began with an eight-day mission that was unexpectedly extended to over eight months due to technical issues with the Boeing Starliner spacecraft. During a formal ceremony aboard the ISS, Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko handed over command to Williams, who has been working to advance scientific research and tech
