NASA 启动任务以挽救 Swift 观测站免于轨道衰减

NASA 已启动 Swift Boost Mission,以挽救 Neil Gehrels Swift 观测站。该观测站由于太阳活动增加而经历比预期更快的轨道衰减。一款名为 LINK 的机器人航天器由 Katalyst Space Technologies 开发,将使用其机械臂与观测站对接,并将其拖至更高轨道,从而将其运行寿命延长约十年。此次任务通过一架 Stargazer 飞机部署的 Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL 火箭发射,旨在保存该观测站对研究伽马射线暴和其他宇宙事件的关键工作。 AI

影响 延长了关键科学仪器的使用寿命,使其能够继续对宇宙事件进行研究。

排序理由 该集群描述了为维修/救援任务设计的特定航天器的发射,属于“工具”类别。
