## Resource

NASA’s aging Swift telescope, worth hundreds of millions and vital for catching cosmic explosions, is plummeting toward Earth—unless a daring robotic rescue by startup Katalyst succeeds. Scheduled to launch this week from the Marshall Islands, the mission aims to snag the 1.6-ton observatory with a three-armed spacecraft and boost it into a stable orbit before October. This first American in-space robotic salvage could revolutionize satellite servicing, potentially extending Hubble’s life and launching a new era of orbital maintenance—if Swift survives.
