Anomaly publicly disclosed
Katalyst Space Technologies announces the thruster issue and spin, stating that the mission remains active and a viable path to rendezvous exists.
Thruster anomaly occurs
Over the weekend, Link experiences thruster problems, enters an uncontrollable spin, and communication becomes disrupted.
Link satellite launched
The three-armed robotic spacecraft Link blasts into orbit, roughly three weeks before the anomaly.
Katalyst Space Technologies, a startup on a $30M NASA contract to save the Swift telescope, faces a critical thruster failure that sent its Link satellite into an uncontrolled spin. The company insists a recovery is still possible, but the clock is ticking. This high-risk, fixed-price mission tests the startup model for deep-space rescue services.
