This handout photo released by NASA on July 31, 2004, shows the Swift spacecraft being unwrapped in Hangar AE at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at Kennedy Space Center, Florida. NASA on Tuesday is set to launch a daring robotic rescue mission, a longshot bid to prevent one of its aging telescopes from vanishing into dust. If successful, the effort could pave the way for giving other satellites a second life. The operation is set to last several months, kicking off with the launch of a robot designed to rescue the Swift space telescope that's currently falling towards Earth. Without intervention, it is expected it will soon burn up in the atmosphere.
