NASA Updates Next Steps for Commercial Swift Boost Mission

Because the boost is impossible, the Swift observatory will likely re-enter Earth's atmosphere later this year. The project still advances U.S. commercial capabilities for maintaining satellites in orbit.

LINK experienced attitude control issues following its July 3 launch on a Pegasus XL rocket.
NASA and Katalyst Space announced that LINK will not capture or boost the Swift Observatory.
LINK will still attempt rendezvous and proximity operations to demonstrate in-space servicing capabilities.
Without an orbital boost, the Swift Observatory is likely to re-enter Earth's atmosphere later this year.
