Spacecraft Sent to Rescue NASA Telescope Is Having Its Own Issues
Earlier this month, NASA sent a servicing mission to stop one of its satellites from falling out of the sky. This has caused the spacecraft, dubbed LINK, to spin while in orbit and resulted in sporadic communications. The team behind the mission is currently working to stop LINK’s unfortunate orbital tumble and reestablish a stable attitude.
