NASA is racing to save its Swift telescope from falling back to Earth with a daring rescue mission

CABO CAÑAVERAL, Florida, EE.UU. (AP) — La NASA busca salvar un telescopio envejecido de observación espacial que está perdiendo altura con una audaz misión de rescate.

The $30 million salvage operation gets underway as soon as this week with the planned launch of a robotic lifesaver.

And the Hubble Space Telescope could be next

“I have to be honest. No one thought it was going to be possible. No one thought we would get as far as we’ve already gotten today.”

El observatorio se encuentra en peligro debido a que su órbita se está degradando rápidamente.
