GAO flags cost overruns and launch-risk management gaps across U.S. Space Force satellite and launch procurements A new U.S. government watchdog report warns that Space Force space procurements still face longstanding defense-acquisition challenges, despite the service’s reputation for speed. The findings cite satellite cost concerns and insufficient handling of launch-related risks across parts of the portfolio.

NASA launches (and briefly holds) orbital-rescue mission to raise the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory’s orbit before reentry NASA has launched a robotic LINK spacecraft to rendezvous with the aging Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory and boost it into a higher orbit ahead of a dangerous atmospheric reentry risk. The mission was executed by a U.S.-China–era tech supplier effort led by Arizona startup Katalyst after a last-minute launch issue delayed takeoff.
