The US Kitalister Space Technology Co., Ltd. said on the 25th that the spacecraft LINK developed by the company failed to complete the mission of lifting the Neil Grells Swift Observatory into orbit and left orbit on the same day and re-entered the Earth's atmosphere. The LINK spacecraft was launched from the Marshall Islands on July 3. According to the original plan, it will meet and capture the NASA “Swift” observatory in orbit and raise the altitude of the “Swift” orbit through its own propulsion system, thereby extending the scientific observation life of the “Swift”.
