As we kick off a new week, all eyes are on NASA's Swift Boost mission. The daring satellite rescue mission is set to lift off on Tuesday (June 30) at 6:23 a.m. EDT (1023 GMT) from Bucholz Army Airfield at Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. The mission will see an air-launched Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL rocket deploy from beneath a mothership aircraft known as Stargazer before sending a spacecraft known as LINK into low Earth orbit to meet up with NASA's sinking Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. From there, if all goes according to plan, LINK will boost Swift back up into a healthy orbit. The observatory is currently sinking towards Earth's atmosphere, but the space telescope still has plenty of science left in it. Aside from the Swift Boost mission, we're also watching out for June's Full Strawberry Moon tonight. In science news, astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to peer back into 'cosmic noon', and they're not sure how the galaxies they saw there were created. We've got all that and more right here at Space.

With the speed at which the rover completed this marathon, and how well it continues to explore on Mars, who knows, maybe Perseverance will be the first to manage an ultramarathon on the Red Planet.

While we eagerly await NASA's Swift Boost mission tomorrow morning, we're also looking ahead at some big news from Rocket Lab (and a launch on July 1), a study about 'oddball' exoplanets, and a look back at the past 250 years of astronomy and spaceflight just in time for America's bisesquicentennial anniversary this week.
Stay tuned right here at Space for more.
