The U.S. military has disclosed the deployment of a space-based weapon and plans for a next-generation missile defense system, signaling intensifying competition with China and Russia . PULSE POINTS WHAT HAPPENED: The United States is developing advanced space-based weapons and a new missile defense architecture as the Pentagon prepares for an increasingly contested military environment in orbit. Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink announced Monday that the U.S. military now has a weapon operating in orbit around Earth, saying it is “capable of defending the joint force against hostile adversary action,” although he did not disclose further details about the system. DETAIL: Meink made the announcement at the Air and Space Forces…Open
NASA launched a revolutionary, next-generation space telescope designed to observe billions of galaxies and potentially solve some of the biggest mysteries of the universe.

A rendering of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. Image: NASA NASA is calling off an attempt to save a space observatory falling out of orbit, dooming it to a fiery death in Earth's atmosphere. Why it matters: The Swift Boost Mission was an ambitious effort to rescue the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory and demonstrate the concept of grabbing onto and moving a satellite. Driving the news: NASA canceled the attempt after weeks of attitude control issues plagued LINK, a privately built spacecraft designed to rendezvous with Swift, grab on and push it to a higher, more stable orbit. - Swift had fallen into an unstable orbit earlier than expected and has no propulsion system of its own to raise its orbit. Yes, but: LINK will still try to…
