## Resource

NASA’s aging Swift telescope, launched in 2004, is plummeting toward Earth due to solar storms—risking fiery reentry by October. In a daring, high-stakes rescue, NASA’s investing $30 million in Katalyst Space to deploy a three-armed spacecraft that will gently boost Swift 150 miles higher. Built in just nine months, the mission faced launch delays but is now underway, with Swift potentially back online by September. If successful, this could pave the way for future rescues—including possibly Hubble—setting a new precedent for orbital salvation.
