The launch of the NASA Swift Boost Mission has been postponed again. The L-1011 aircraft carrying the Pegasus XL rocket did take off, but a launch vehicle issue temporarily prevented teams from deploying the rocket. No new launch date announced yet as teams review the data. 😞 https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/swift/2026/07/02/launch-of-swift-boost-mission-delayed-teams-reviewing-data/ 12/n
