The telescope, which has been in space for over 20 years, could burn up in the atmosphere if its orbit is not raised. * Design studies are examining an orbit raise that could extend the Swift Space Telescope's operation and advance satellite servicing capabilities.

According to the researchers, the development is particularly suitable for use in the space industry, where minimalism and weight savings are a distinct advantage. The maneuverability of the robotic arm and its low weight reduce the effect of its movement on the stability of the spacecraft. For example, the robot can be used as a service and maintenance arm for satellites. Source: Ben Gurion University.
