Rescue mission abandoned
NASA announces ongoing LINK attitude control system problems will prevent it from capturing and boosting Swift; reentry expected later in 2026.
LINK launches on Pegasus XL
Katalyst's LINK servicing spacecraft launches on a Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL rocket to attempt an orbit boost for Swift.
Swift reentry expected
NASA expects Swift to reenter Earth's atmosphere later in 2026 as end-of-life planning continues.
$30M servicing contract awarded
NASA awards Katalyst Space Technologies a $30 million contract to develop and launch a robotic servicing mission for Swift in less than a year.
Swift launch
NASA launches the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory to study gamma-ray bursts and transient cosmic phenomena.
NASA's $30M bid to extend the life of the Swift gamma-ray telescope ended when Katalyst's LINK servicing craft could not overcome attitude-control failures in a 216-mile orbit, leaving a gap in rapid-response astrophysics and testing confidence in orbital servicing startups.
