Orbital Rescue Details: The $30 million effort will launch from Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands on a Pegasus rocket, then have LINK rendezvous, grapple, and slowly raise Swift’s orbit from about 360 km to roughly 600 km, extending operations as solar-driven drag accelerates. Next Up for NASA: NASA says Hubble could face a similar fate, with a future robotic servicing concept already in development. Pacific Environment Rights: Pacific civil society groups renewed criticism of Japan’s plans to move forward with ALPS-treated radioactive wastewater releases into the Pacific, calling it a breach of Pacific peoples’ right to a clean, healthy environment.
