NASA Swift Observatory Nears Reentry After Rescue Spacecraft Fails — Sep 30, 2026NASA’s 22-year-old Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory is descending toward an expected atmospheric reentry later in 2026 after a $30 million commercial rescue mission failed when its spacecraft suffered control problems and ran short of fuel. Swift may continue gathering science as it loses altitude; most of the telescope is expected to burn up, and any surviving debris is unlikely to threaten people on the ground.

Jared Kim Too bad the rescue craft ran out of fuel, but at least Swift can keep working until it burns up.

NASA Cancels LINK Rescue Mission; Swift to Reenter — Aug 19, 2026NASA and Katalyst Space Technologies have canceled the Swift Boost Mission to rescue the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, dooming the telescope to fiery re-entry later this year after LINK encountered control problems. The decision yields important lessons for future satellite servicing and could influence planned rescue attempts for Hubble as agencies seek more rapid-response capabilities.
