Part of situation: NASA Cancels Swift Observatory Rescue Mission (34 clusters)

NASA and Katalyst cancel Swift Observatory rescue mission

Swift Observatory Katalyst Space Technologies Link spacecraft orbital servicing satellite rescue

NASA and Katalyst Space Technologies have cancelled a mission to rescue the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, which is currently in a decaying orbit. The mission, which involved the Link spacecraft, was intended to capture the observatory and boost it to a higher altitude to extend its scientific lifespan.

The decision follows persistent attitude control issues with the Link spacecraft. After its launch on July 3, the spacecraft experienced an uncontrollable multi-axis spin, likely due to the loss of two of its three reaction wheels. Despite efforts to stabilize the craft using new flight software and electric thrusters, the technical problems remained unresolved.

As a result, the Swift Observatory, which has been studying gamma-ray bursts since 2004, is expected to undergo a fiery reentry into Earth's atmosphere later this year. While the primary goal of orbital reboosting was not met, NASA and Katalyst will continue to perform rendezvous and proximity operations with Swift to gather technical data for future satellite servicing missions.
