A rescue mission is underway to save a telescope from falling back to Earth. The effort is being led by NASA, which has hired a startup to assist with the operation. The telescope in question is the Swift Observatory, and the salvage operation is expected to cost $30 million.

A robotic lifesaver is set to launch as part of the rescue effort, potentially as soon as this week. Further details about the mission are available from NASA and other sources, including KSAT 12.
