Here's how engineers plan to save the satellite sent to save NASA's Swift mission

"We believe that a capture of Swift, an attempted capture of Swift, is very much in the cards."

Engineers make progress in stabilizing mission but push back the rendezvous date

Katalyst Space An unmanned spacecraft that was sent to rescue a falling NASA space telescope now needs an intervention of its own. NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory was launched in 2004 to observe gamma-ray bursts, bright flashes of high-energy light from violent explosions throughout the universe. The observatory,

A spacecraft meant to push NASA’s Swift Observatory to a higher orbit malfunctioned and started tumbling several days ago. Engineers think it can still succeed.

NASA sent a spacecraft called LINK to rescue a falling telescope, but it's now unclear if it can accomplish its mission.

A private spacecraft launched to boost the decaying orbit of NASA’s Swift Observatory is now suffering from potentially mission-ending malfunctions
