🇲🇭 Pegasus XL – Swift Rescue Mission – Northrop Grumman Space Systems (Commercial) — Low Earth Orbit (LEO) — Mission Extension
Kwajalein Atoll — Air launch to orbit

Contracted by NASA under the Small Business Innovation Research Phase 3 contract, Katalyst Space Technologies' LINK servicing spacecraft will rendezvous and attach to NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory to re-boost its orbit. This aims to demonstrate a key capability for the future of space exploration and extending the Swift mission’s science lifetime in gamma ray astronomy.
