NASA stuurt reddingsmissie naar langzaam neerstortende ruimtetelescoop

NASA stuurt reddingsmissie naar langzaam neerstortende ruimtetelescoop 27.06.2026

De Swift-ruimtetelescoop, die in 2004 werd gelanceerd om gammaflitsen en andere kosmische explosies te bestuderen, verkeert in gevaar. Door een gebrek aan een eigen raketmotor en door frequente botsingen met ruimteafval en deeltjes is zijn baanhoogte gedaald van 600 naar ongeveer 400 kilometer. Zonnestormen in 2024 hebben de daling versneld, waardoor het 840 kilo zware apparaat mogelijk al over enkele maanden in de atmosfeer kan verbranden.
