Coverage cohort
Other entities that clear the same relevance threshold in stories also covering Link satellite. Shared-story counts are live from our verified record — not editorial picks.
Anomaly Publicly Disclosed
Katalyst announces the issue, stating the mission remains active and expressing confidence in a recovery path.
Thruster Malfunction
Link experiences a thruster problem, sending it into an uncontrolled spin that disrupts communications and threatens the mission.
Link Satellite Launch
Katalyst Space Technologies launches the Link rescue vehicle on a rapid timeline, roughly three weeks before the anomaly.
Orbital Decay Accelerates
Increased solar activity early in the solar cycle causes atmospheric expansion, dragging Swift down faster than predicted.
Swift Observatory Launched
NASA sends the Swift gamma-ray burst telescope into orbit for a mission expected to last years; it becomes a premier instrument for high-energy astrophysics.
Katalyst Space Technologies’ Link satellite has entered an uncontrolled spin after a thruster failure, jeopardizing the $30 million NASA-funded effort to boost the aging Swift Observatory. The 2004-launched telescope faces an autumn reentry if the startup cannot regain control soon.
