The Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, a 21-year-old NASA satellite, is falling out of orbit and NASA officials believe it is worth saving for the right price. The spacecraft, which launched in 2004, has been out of action for over a month as scientists await a robotic rescue mission. NASA awarded Katalyst Space Technologies a $30 million contract to build and launch a commercial satellite to stabilize Swift’s orbit and extend its mission. Katalyst's robotic servicing spacecraft, named Link, will attempt to dock with the Swift satellite before it falls too low for a safe rendezvous. The rescue mission is technically ambitious and requires a nine-month build, test, and launch before Swift's altitude drops too low. The mission is not a flagship astronomy mission like Hubble or Webb, so there is no talk of sending astronauts or spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a rescue expedition.
