Russian forces struck port infrastructure in the Odesa region, targeting a commercial vessel flying the flag of Antigua and Barbuda, resulting in one death and three injuries. A secondary strike damaged rescue equipment, marking the second foreign vessel targeted within 24 hours following an attack on a Marshall Islands-flagged ship.

52 House Republicans, including Speaker Mike Johnson and Majority Leader Steve Scalise, urged President Donald Trump to let the Jones Act waiver expire, arguing it creates a loophole for adversarial countries. The waiver, which allows foreign ships to transport goods between U.S. ports, has facilitated over 136 voyages since March 2024, reducing fuel costs and improving supply chains, particularly for gasoline and propane. Analysis shows no significant threat to U.S. maritime dominance, with only one Chinese-flagged vessel among the voyages.

A spacecraft named Link, developed by Katalyst Space Technologies and launched by Northrop Grumman, aims to rescue NASA's Swift Observatory from falling back to Earth due to solar storms. The mission seeks to boost the telescope's orbit to continue its cosmic observations, with NASA funding $30 million for the operation. A similar salvage effort may be planned for the Hubble Space Telescope in the future.

A three-armed spacecraft launched to rescue NASA's Swift Observatory, which is at risk of crashing to Earth due to solar storms. Katalyst Space's Link spacecraft aims to capture and boost the telescope's orbit, funded by a $30 million NASA contract, to extend its scientific mission.

A three-armed spacecraft launched to rescue NASA’s Swift Observatory, which is at risk of crashing to Earth due to solar storms. Katalyst Space Technologies, with Northrop Grumman, aims to boost the telescope’s orbit by 150 miles to extend its mission tracking cosmic events like gamma ray bursts.

A last-minute software issue delayed NASA's satellite rescue mission, but the problem was resolved, allowing another launch attempt. The mission, led by Northrop Grumman and Katalyst Space Technologies, aims to save the Swift Observatory from crashing by October. NASA paused the telescope's operations to preserve its orbit, and the salvage operation is valued at $30 million.

A last-minute launch problem delayed a NASA satellite rescue mission, preventing the release of the Pegasus rocket carrying a robotic spacecraft to save the Swift Observatory. The mission, led by Katalyst Space Technologies, aims to prevent the telescope from crashing by October, with no new launch date set.

A last-minute launch problem delayed a NASA satellite rescue mission aimed at saving the Swift Observatory. Northrop Grumman's rocket-launching plane failed to release the Pegasus rocket carrying a robotic spacecraft built by Katalyst Space Technologies, which is intended to prevent the telescope from crashing by October.

NASA is collaborating with Katalyst Space Technologies to launch a robotic mission to boost the aging Swift Observatory into a higher orbit to prevent its re-entry. A spacecraft named Link will rendezvous with Swift and raise its orbit, with the mission aiming to extend the telescope's operational life. Similar efforts may later target the Hubble Space Telescope.

NASA is collaborating with Katalyst Space Technologies to launch a robotic spacecraft, named Link, to rescue the aging Swift Observatory from Earth's atmosphere by boosting it to a higher orbit. The mission aims to prevent the telescope from re-entering Earth's atmosphere due to intensified solar activity, with potential future plans to stabilize the Hubble Space Telescope.

NASA is partnering with Katalyst Space Technologies to launch a robotic mission to boost the aging Swift Observatory to a higher orbit using a three-armed spacecraft named Link. The mission aims to prevent Swift from reentering Earth's atmosphere due to declining solar activity effects, with potential future plans to rescue the Hubble Space Telescope using similar technology.

NASA is collaborating with Katalyst Space Technologies to launch a robotic spacecraft named Link to boost the Swift Observatory into a higher orbit to prevent its re-entry. The mission aims to extend Swift's operational lifespan amid heightened solar activity causing orbital decay, with potential future applications for the Hubble Space Telescope.

A UK individual reported being scammed out of 50k through Virpoint, an unregulated online trading platform based in the Marshall Islands. After initial profits managed by a finance manager, a new manager led to significant losses as investments in crashing stocks depleted the account.

Woods Hole scientists are searching for 'super reefs' that can withstand global warming, which could help repopulate degraded reefs in the Central Pacific. The research is taking place in the Majuro lagoon in the Marshall Islands.
