NASA launches urgent satellite rescue
NASA is initiating a rescue mission to boost the Swift Observatory into a higher orbit to prevent its reentry to Earth, using a robotic spacecraft called Link developed by Katalyst Space Technologies. The mission aims to improve Swift’s orbital stability amid increasing solar activity, with liftoff possible as early as Tuesday and the rescue expected to complete by September. This marks the first time an American company will perform such an orbital repair, potentially paving the way for future satellite servicing in space.
