NASA’s Swift Observatory Reenters Over IndonesiaScience — Oct 31, 2026NASA’s 22-year-old Swift Observatory is expected to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere Nov. 4 after a failed rescue effort, with most of the spacecraft expected to burn up. A few dense fragments could reach the surface; NASA estimates the risk of harm at about 1 in 2,100, and any debris is most likely to fall into the ocean, though the projected zone includes parts of several continents.

Rubin Observatory Finds Large Dwarf-Planet CandidateScience — Oct 27, 2026Scientists using data from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory have identified 2026 ED138, a large object orbiting beyond Pluto that may be a new dwarf planet. Estimated at 600 to 1,500 kilometers wide, it was difficult to spot amid the crowded stars of the Milky Way; further observations are needed to determine its size and confirm its status.

NASA Swift Observatory Nears Reentry After Rescue Spacecraft Fails — Sep 30, 2026NASA’s 22-year-old Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory is descending toward an expected atmospheric reentry later in 2026 after a $30 million commercial rescue mission failed when its spacecraft suffered control problems and ran short of fuel. Swift may continue gathering science as it loses altitude; most of the telescope is expected to burn up, and any surviving debris is unlikely to threaten people on the ground.

Jared Kim Too bad the rescue craft ran out of fuel, but at least Swift can keep working until it burns up.

Roman Space Telescope Coronagraph Instrument powers onScience — Aug 30, 2026NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has powered up its Coronagraph Instrument and begun a months-long calibration phase to enable direct imaging of exoplanets and circumstellar disks, using ultra-sensitive ABB and Nüvü Camēras camera electronics. The observatory, launched on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy with the coronagraph camera now in orbit, is designed to vastly surpass current exoplanet imaging capabilities and to lay groundwork for future Habitable Worlds Observatory.

Rescue spacecraft runs out of fuel before saving NASA's Swift telescope — Sep 4, 2026A private mission by Katalyst Space Technologies’ Link got within 15 kilometers of NASA’s Swift Observatory and captured data and photos before running low on fuel, forcing an abandonment of the rescue attempt. NASA and company officials describe the effort as a high-risk, learning-focused in-orbit servicing experiment, with praise for pursuing extensions of Swift’s life despite the near-miss and costs involved.

Priya Raman Honestly impressed anyone's even attempting to service satellites we've already written off. Failure here still teaches them plenty for next time.
