Northrop Grumman

Northrop Grumman's solid rocket motor business head states that the industry is ready to scale up production, thanks to billions in private investment. However, suppliers need predictable demand to support growth. The company is looking for longer contracts to ensure stability.

Northrop Grumman's Pegasus rocket will support a mission to raise NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory from a decaying orbit. The mission aims to prevent the observatory from re-entering Earth's atmosphere. The Pegasus rocket will play a crucial role in this time-sensitive operation.
