What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-07-21

Track; not yet

Why
The core claim under test — commercial robotic capture and orbit-boost of a non-cooperative, not-designed-for-servicing government satellite — is still mid-execution. LINK has launched, reached orbit, and is confirmed communicating, but as of this record it has not yet rendezvoused with, grappled, or boosted Swift, and this is the spacecraft's first-ever flight with no prior heritage.
Next
Re-check after Katalyst completes robotic-arm capture and the multi-month reboost of Swift (targeted within roughly three months of the July 3, 2026 launch, i.e. by ~October 2026) before upgrading readiness or bridging it into any downstream in-space-servicing thesis.
