As NASA prepares to retire the International Space Station by steering it into a remote Pacific Ocean graveyard, environmental groups warn that it could expose major gaps in international law.

For more than two decades, NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory has acted as one of astronomy's fastest cosmic first responders. The space telescope has detected thousands of powerful gamma-ray bursts, monitored exploding stars and helped scientists study some of the universe's most extreme phenomena.

As the International Space Station (ISS) approaches the end of its operational life, NASA is preparing for one of the most ambitious and controversial space engineering projects ever attempted. The agency plans to guide the 420-tonne orbital laboratory through a controlled re-entry before directing surviving debris into a remote region of the Pacific Ocean, often referred to as the world's "spacecraft cemetery".
