SUMMARY:NET June 1 - Launch Pegasus XL / Swift Rescue Mission
DESCRIPTION:The mission aims for the LINK spacecraft to rendezvous with the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory craft and boost its orbit\, under a Small Business Innovation Research Phase 3 contract between NASA and Katalyst Space Technologies. \nAir launch-to-orbit is how the Pegasus XL operates. It can carry up to 443 kg to LEO after being released from a carrier aircraft at ~12\,000 meter altitude. \nThe Swift Spacecraft observes gamma-ray bursts & their afterglows in gamma-ray\, X-ray\, ultraviolet and optical wavelengths from LEO. This multiwavelength craft was launched 11/20/2004. \nOmelek Island hosts Space Launch Complex 1 (SLC-1)\, which saw the launch of Falcon 1 in 2008\, the first privately developed liquid-fueled rocket to reach orbit. SpaceX initially planned to upgrade Omelek for Falcon 9 launches but did not. The site is currently not in active use for orbital launches. Other space missions\, such as the HETE-2 satellite launch in 2000\, have utilized launch infrastructure on Omelek Island rather than Bucholz Airfield on Kwajalein Island.
