NASA is planning a robotic spacecraft mission to rescue the 22-year-old Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, aiming to boost the telescope back into a higher orbit instead of letting it fall to Earth.

NASA has launched a daring rescue mission to prevent its Swift telescope from an uncontrolled re-entry and falling back to Earth.

NASA is preparing a rescue mission to catch its Swift telescope, which is falling, and push it back into its proper orbit.

NASA is undertaking a mission to save its Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, a telescope launched in 2004 that is now falling towards Earth, despite successfully recording cosmic phenomena for years beyond its planned mission.
