Earlier today, my colleagues NASAFermi, NASA Swift Observatory, and ISRO 's AstroSat could NOT find a Gamma-ray Burst from the Neutron Star - Black Hole merger announced by LIGO EGO & the Virgo Collaboration & KAGRA Gravitational Wave Observatory!

How would things be when I get launched? 🤩✨

The Swift Observatory went into safe mode on March 15 due to a degrading gyro. Science operations are temporarily suspended while the team works on a solution to operate with its remaining gyros. The rest of the spacecraft remains in good health. go.nasa.gov/48ZrPyU
