The spacecraft Link, launched to rescue NASA's Swift space telescope, is facing multiple failures, making the mission's success uncertain. Link is experiencing communication loss, malfunctioning attitude control systems, and abnormal operation of gas thruster devices. However, NASA has decided to continue the rescue mission, and the Link manufacturer confirmed that the communication device, robotic arm, and main propulsion system are functioning normally. Swift, a space telescope launched in 2004, has been observing gamma-ray bursts but is facing the risk of atmospheric reentry as its orbit gradually decreases. Link is scheduled to capture Swift and slowly raise its orbit for about two months before releasing it.
