NASA races to save Swift telescope from falling back to Earth with daring rescue mission
NASA is collaborating with Katalyst Space Technologies to launch a robotic spacecraft, named Link, to rescue the aging Swift Observatory from Earth's atmosphere by boosting it to a higher orbit. The mission aims to prevent the telescope from re-entering Earth's atmosphere due to intensified solar activity, with potential future plans to stabilize the Hubble Space Telescope.
