NASA launched an emergency mission to stop the Swift Observatory from crashing to Earth

NASA launched an emergency mission to save the Swift Observatory from burning up in Earth's atmosphere due to low orbit caused by solar storms. The Link spacecraft, developed by Katalyst Space Technologies, aims to boost Swift's orbit by 150 miles. This mission is crucial to prevent a potential crash and loss of valuable scientific data. Engineers will need to monitor the mission's progress closely to ensure its success. The mission's complexity is heightened by the use of a three-armed spacecraft to lift the satellite.
