NASA launches LINK mission this week to rescue Swift telescope from atmospheric reentry

NASA is set to launch the LINK mission this week in an unprecedented attempt to save the Swift space telescope from burning up in Earth's atmosphere. The Swift observatory, which has spent years tracking gamma-ray bursts, has descended to an orbital altitude that puts it at real risk of uncontrolled atmospheric reentry. The LINK mission aims to boost the telescope's orbit and extend its operational life.

Should NASA spend funds rescuing old telescopes instead of building new ones?
