NASA initiates mission to reposition Swift Observatory in orbit
NASA is set to launch a $30 million mission to reposition the Swift Observatory, which is at risk of falling back to Earth due to increased solar activity. The mission, contracted to Katalyst Space Technologies, involves deploying an autonomous spacecraft named Link to elevate Swift to a more stable orbit. The operation is expected to take several months, with the observatory needing to remain above 185 miles to avoid reentry.
