Rescue mission launches to save NASA telescope that's falling back to Earth
A spacecraft named Link, developed by Katalyst Space Technologies and launched by Northrop Grumman, aims to rescue NASA's Swift Observatory from falling back to Earth due to solar storms. The mission seeks to boost the telescope's orbit to continue its cosmic observations, with NASA funding $30 million for the operation. A similar salvage effort may be planned for the Hubble Space Telescope in the future.
