NASA Cancels Swift Gamma-Ray Space Telescope

NASA announced that he officially cancels his rescue task for Swift telescope, which has observed gama beam explosions since 2004. Space agent terminates the failed instrument from orbit download plan.

Swift telescope has played a critical role in reviewing gama beam explosions for **21 years. However, the technical problems experienced during the last period have brought the telescope unable to work. In the first place, NASA thought to send a spacecraft to save telescope.

• Swift is the only observatory, observing the most severe events of the universe
• Space agent recovery decided to cancel the cost and technical challenges of the task
• Telescope will be prepared for controlled atmospheric entry using its resources
• Mission will be terminated in this way and try to collect remaining data
• A new era will begin in the astronomy of Gamma ray

Technical challenges and budget restrictions have played an important role in making this decision of NASA. Although Swift will take its place in the new generation of observations, the 21-year heritage of telescope will remain astronomy. Space agent currently started procedures for entering the atmosphere controlled by telescope.
