Last-minute launch problem delays satellite rescue mission for NASA
A last-minute software issue delayed NASA's satellite rescue mission, but the problem was resolved, allowing another launch attempt. The mission, led by Northrop Grumman and Katalyst Space Technologies, aims to save the Swift Observatory from crashing by October. NASA paused the telescope's operations to preserve its orbit, and the salvage operation is valued at $30 million.
