Artemis II astronauts visit Kennedy Space Center after historic moon mission
More than three months after embarking on a historic voyage around the Moon, the crew of NASA's Artemis II mission returned to the Space Coast on Wednesday, July 8 to visit the site where their journey began. It marks the first time astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Jeremy Hansen and Christina Koch have returned to NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) since their 10-day lunar test flight lifted off back in April 2026.

Expert: Here's how NASA may save sinking satellite
After about 20 years in orbit, the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory satellite is falling out of orbit and slowing sinking towards Earth. NASA plans to use another satellite, Katalyst Space's LINK, to help boost its orbit. Dr. Alain Berinstain, director of the Florida Space Institute at UCF and the Florida Space Research Consortium, explains how this mission could work.

Saving NASA Telescope: Swift Observatory gets a push
NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory has been studying gamma rays for over two decades -- but it's falling back to Earth. To extend its lifespan for at least another decade, Katalyst Space Technologies plans to push the satellite higher into orbit in a first-of-its-kind mission. FOX 35 Garrett Wymer talks to Ghonhee Lee, CEO of Katalyst Space Technologies, about their ambitious plan and the coming launch.
