The six are the Z-Vec with the Rocky Roar report talking about the SWIFT Boost mission. Once in orbit, Link will deploy its solar panels in undergo several weeks of commissioning as catalysts evaluate the spacecraft's propulsion, navigation, and sensor systems. Link will then slowly approach and survey SWIFT before grabbing the observatory with its robotic arms and then slowly raising the orbit by nearly 370 miles. When SWIFT launched in 2004, it went into a 580 kilometer orbit. SWIFT is slowly decay due to the very tenuous atmospheric drag in lower orbit down to 360 kilometers. NASA is shooting to boost to a fresh altitude of 740 kilometers this time. That should give the SWIFT several better
