NASA sends rescue spacecraft to boost Swift Observatory's decaying orbit

NASA's Swift Observatory, launched in 2004, is at risk of re-entering Earth's atmosphere as early as this year after recent solar storms pushed its orbit dangerously low.

The company's Link spacecraft launched on Friday with the objective of intercepting Swift, which lacks any onboard propulsion system. Link aims to raise Swift's current altitude of approximately 224 miles by around 150 miles to restore its original orbit.

US Energy Dept removes 6,000 conservation pages amid record heatwave

The removals occurred as a historic heatwave swept across the United States, straining power grids nationwide. The timing followed political backlash from Republican lawmakers against New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, who had urged residents to set air conditioners to 78 degrees to ease grid pressure. Prominent Republicans including Ted Cruz, Nikki Haley, and Representative Nancy Mace criticized the conservation request, framing it in politically charged terms. The deletion of federal energy efficiency resources during an extreme heat event has drawn scrutiny over the administration's approach to energy policy.
