Flight track today of the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar aircraft, tail ID N140SC, which hopefully launched the Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL rocket for the NASA Swift Boost Mission.

Successful launch of the NASA Swift Boost Mission! LINK, the robotic servicing spacecraft built by Katalyst Space, was launched into orbit today on a Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL rocket, which was deployed by the company’s Stargazer, a modified L-1011 aircraft, at an altitude of about 40,000 feet. LINK has reached orbit. Next milestone: Signal acquisition. :mastodance: https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/swift/2026/07/03/mission-to-boost-nasas-swift-launches-from-marshall-islands/ 15/n
