Built for just 2 years, the Swift Observatory is still making discoveries after 20. Now, NASA's Swift Boost Mission is giving it a second chance in orbit.

A new era of space rescue begins!
#NASA has launched the $30 million #SwiftBoost mission, sending the robotic spacecraft LINK on an unprecedented mission to rescue the aging #NeilGehrelsSwiftObservatory from orbital decay.
Lifting off from #KwajaleinAtoll on July 3, 2026, the mission aims to extend the life of a telescope that has revolutionized our understanding of gamma-ray bursts and the dynamic universe.
Saving a spacecraft is more than preserving a mission- it's pioneering the future of in-orbit servicing, sustainability, and robotic space exploration.
All the Best to Swift Boost Mission!
Comms established with LINK, it's power positive now, congratulations 👏 @NASA, @katalystspace, @northropgrumman, @NASAGoddard and to everyone involved. Hopefully a smooth in-orbit commissioning and rendezvous with @NASASwift.

Congratulations, Katalyst Space and Northrop Grumman, on a successful launch! Now Katalyst's LINK will undergo several weeks of commissioning before rendezvousing with our Swift observatory to attempt an orbital boost. More here: https://t.co/daQGHGsfoI
Statement from NG (launch provider), still no update on whether LINK is power positive or not.

The next launch attempt of Northrop Grumman’s Pegasus XL rocket carrying LINK, Katalyst Space’s robotic servicing spacecraft to boost our Swift observatory, will be no earlier than July 3 at 4:35 a.m. ET. Get updates: https://t.co/WpiK7NFSLJ
La misión LINK mira hacia una reparación espacial que desafía la lógica: ¿se puede privatizar la seguridad de la ciencia al servicio del control orbital? 🔭🚀 Investiga cada éxito y conflicto. #NASA #SwiftBoost https://t.co/Zyp7vgnxJf
LINK launch scrubbed for today, next attempt tomorrow @ 9:43 pm local/5:43 am EDT/3:13 pm IST. Surprised to know launch won't be telecasted, follow Swift blog for updates.

Today’s launch of Northrop Grumman’s Pegasus XL rocket carrying LINK, Katalyst Space’s robotic servicing spacecraft to boost our Swift observatory, has been postponed. Next attempt will be no earlier than July 1 at 5:43 a.m. ET. Get updates: https://t.co/WpiK7NFSLJ
NASA & Katalyst Space are launching an autonomous robot to catch the falling Swift Observatory before it burns up! If successful, this $30M mission could pioneer satellite rescues and save Hubble next.

Soon we will see the unique design of the Pegasus XL back in action, as the Swift Boost mission is just around the corner!
#PegasusXL #SwiftBoost #NASA
La #NASA tenta di salvare uno dei suoi osservatori spaziali più longevi. La missione #SwiftBoost lancerà un veicolo robotico che dovrà raggiungere il telescopio #Swift, agganciarlo e innalzarne l'orbita per prolungarne la vita operativa. #PegasusXL
