Final ground testing begins of Katalyst’s Swift rescue spacecraft

Katalyst has initiated final ground testing of its LINK spacecraft, designed for the Gehrels-Swift rescue mission, at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Following a contract awarded by NASA, LINK will undergo vibration and thermal tests before being integrated into Northrop Grumman's Pegasus rocket for a potential launch later this year to prevent the telescope's orbital decay.
