Here's how engineers plan to save the satellite sent to save NASA's Swift mission

NASA engineers are developing procedures to capture the Swift gamma-ray burst observatory, which has been in orbit since 2004 and is experiencing mechanical failures. The spacecraft's pointing system has degraded, limiting its ability to track astronomical targets. A capture mission would involve another spacecraft rendezvousing with Swift to stabilize or retrieve it. NASA has not announced a formal timeline or budget for such an operation.
