TL;DR

NASA will host an audio-only teleconference to preview the Katalyst Space mission, in which the LINK robotic servicing spacecraft will rendezvous with the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory to boost its altitude and extend the telescope's science mission; the LINK craft is slated to launch later this month on Northrop Grumman’s Pegasus XL from Kwajalein Atoll, marking a milestone in robotic space servicing for future exploration.
