NASA's Effort to Save a Failing Telescope
NASA is preparing a rescue mission to save its Swift Observatory, which is at risk of uncontrolled reentry due to accelerated orbital decay caused by solar storms. A spacecraft developed by Katalyst Space, launched via Northrop Grumman's Pegasus XL rocket later in June, will attempt to capture and boost the satellite into a higher orbit. If successful, this unprecedented mission would extend the observatory's operational life and test new robotic capture capabilities for space rescue operations.
