NASA’s rescue of the aging Swift telescope hits a snag as Link spacecraft suffers critical hardware failures in orbit. NASA’s plan to revive the Swift space telescope has hit a significant snag after the Link servicing spacecraft suffered hardware...

NASA’s Swift-protecting spacecraft encounters a critical glitch, prompting engineers to work nonstop to restore full control. A newly launched spacecraft intended to extend the scientific reach of NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory encountered an...

clue hidden within the early universe’s first light. On March 14, 2025, a sudden, ten-second flash of high-energy gamma rays swept across space, triggering detectors on a specialized monitoring satellite. This fleeting burst originated from a colossal...

established models of how these cataclysmic events fade. While the event began with a standard, fleeting burst of gamma rays, it continued to emit soft X-rays for nearly ten minutes, suggesting that the “central engine” powering the merger remained...

Gamma-rays and Neutrons (MEGANE) instrument, engineered by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. By detecting gamma rays and neutrons, MEGANE will provide essential data on the chemical composition of Phobos, offering a window into the building...

NASA and Katalyst Space to test satellite servicing tech extending Swift Observatory’s lifespan NASA is gearing up for a mission that could reshape how spacecraft are serviced once they are in orbit. The agency’s upcoming partnership with Katalyst...
