NASA plans daring robotic rescue mission to prevent an aging space telescope from falling back to Earth, and the legendary Hubble could be next

NASA is partnering with Katalyst Space Technologies to launch a robotic mission to boost the aging Swift Observatory to a higher orbit using a three-armed spacecraft named Link. The mission aims to prevent Swift from reentering Earth's atmosphere due to declining solar activity effects, with potential future plans to rescue the Hubble Space Telescope using similar technology.
