API Showcase - Launch Library 2 🚀

Next Launch ⌛

The next space launch, retrieved from our Launch Library 2 API, is Pegasus XL | Swift Boost Mission. It is scheduled to be launched by Northrop Grumman Space Systems from Kwajalein Atoll, Air launch to orbit at 2026-07-01 07:30:00 UTC. Until then, this pad will have been used for 4 out of 51 launches from this location. The launch status is currently Go 🟩 . The mission type is Mission Extension and the payload will be injected into a Low Earth Orbit (LEO).

Contracted by NASA under the Small Business Innovation Research Phase 3 contract, Katalyst Space Technologies' LINK servicing spacecraft will rendezvous and attach to NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory to re-boost its orbit. This aims to demonstrate a key capability for the future of space exploration and extending the Swift mission’s science lifetime in gamma ray astronomy.
