In a few weeks, NASA will launch Katalyst Space's LINK robotic servicing spacecraft, aboard a Northrop Grumman Pegasus spacecraft.
LINK will capture and boost NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory which is rapidly losing altitude and will, without a boost, reenter the atmosphere this summer.
Swift, launched in 2004, is a NASA space observatory for studying gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and monitoring their afterglow in X-ray and UV/visible light.
