Post #4178617

Some not-so-good news from the NASA Swift Boost Mission. Over the weekend, Katalyst’s LINK servicing spacecraft experienced issues with attitude control, causing the spacecraft to spin and resulting in sporadic communications. Preliminary diagnosis: two of LINK’s three reaction wheels currently are not operable, and there is some loss of functionality in its cold gas thruster system. Mitigation and fixes in progress. 🙁 https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/swift/2026/07/28/commissioning-update-for-spacecraft-to-boost-nasas-swift/ https://www.katalystspace.com/mission/link @spycrab@kolektiva.social 18/n
