NASA initiates urgent mission to save space observatory
NASA has launched an emergency mission worth $30 million to save the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory from a potential fall and burning up in the atmosphere. This action was prompted by a decrease in its orbit caused by solar activity. A robotic spacecraft equipped with three arms will capture the telescope and push it into a more stable orbit, aiming to extend its operational life, which began in 2004, to continue monitoring cosmic explosions.
