SUMMARY:(NET) Pegasus XL • Link
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260601
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260602
UID:266697444121
DESCRIPTION:A Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL rocket will air-launch from its 
 L-1011 "Stargazer" carrier aircraft to deploy the Swift Reboost mission of
  Katalyst for NASA in orbit. Swift's orbit has decayed considerably over t
 he years\, from an initial 600km to about 400km. Its descent is accelerati
 ng due to atmospheric drag and it would experience reentry around the end 
 of 2026\, so a rescue mission was designed. The Katalyst spacecraft\, name
 d Link\, will head to an orbit similar to that of Swift\, then spend two t
 o three weeks closing in on the observatory. The boost vehicle will inspec
 t its target and once its state is understood\, the rescuer\, which is abo
 ut 1.5m tall and weighs 350kg\, will close in and capture Swift using its 
 three robotic arms. This will be challenging\, as the NASA observatory was
  not designed to be serviced. After a successful capture\, the Katalyst sp
 acecraft will haul Swift back up to its initial altitude of ~600km\, which
  will boost its lifetime by another ~20 years. The Swift observatory was b
 uilt by Orbital Sciences\, a company that in 2014 became Orbital ATK\, whi
 ch was then acquired by Northrop Grumman in 2018. The triple-engine carrie
 r aircraft is expected to take off about an hour before launch time.
