NASA's robot-led effort to save a space telescope
NASA has launched an unprecedented mission to save a space telescope from falling and burning up by using a dedicated maintenance robot, with the aim of extending the lifespan of the "Neil Gaiels Swift" observatory, which is experiencing performance decline due to its lowered orbit caused by solar activity and atmospheric drag. The robot spacecraft, "Link," will carry out the mission, which is estimated to cost around 30 million dollars. This marks the first time a US space robot has been used for such a mission, and its success represents a step toward developing digital satellite repair methods and preventing the collapse of telescopes.
