- The 21-year-old Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory faces destruction as its orbit decays faster than anticipated.
- NASA deployed the autonomous robot Link to latch onto the telescope and elevate its orbit to avoid atmospheric reentry.
- Developed by Katalyst Space Technologies, Link weighs about 880 pounds and features robotic arms to attach to satellites without docking ports.
- This mission aims to establish a model for on-orbit satellite servicing and unlock commercial opportunities in space maintenance.
By demonstrating we can quickly and cost-effectively extend [Swift's] lifetime, we're creating a blueprint for servicing spacecraft that were never designed for on-orbit maintenance.— Ghonhee Lee, CEO of Katalyst Space Technologies, in a statement
