NASA & Katalyst Space are attempting to rescue the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, a powerful gamma-ray telescope that's on a death-spiral toward Earth.
A booster spacecraft, called Link, is now on its way. It will attempt to grab Swift & lift it to safety. If successful, the same technique could be applied to the Hubble telescope.
