NASA has partnered with startup Katalyst to save the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory from becoming a casualty of Earth's atmosphere. This mission, part of the U.S.-China space competition, will test space-docking technology. Katalyst's spacecraft, set to launch in 2026, will attempt to dock with and boost the decaying orbit of the observatory.
