NASA's Swift telescope rescue canceled
NASA and Katalyst Space Technologies canceled their attempt to rescue the Swift Observatory after technical issues with the Link spacecraft prevented it from capturing the telescope. As a result, Swift will re-enter Earth's atmosphere later this year after more than 20 years of cosmic observations. The mission aimed to lift Swift to a higher orbit but was unsuccessful due to control and stability problems with Link.
