From Wikipedia

The Swift boost mission is a robotic on-orbit satellite servicing mission that was intended to boost the orbit and extend the lifetime of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, which is anticipated to undergo uncontrolled reentry by the end of 2026. The LINK servicing spacecraft, built and operated by Katalyst Space Technologies, was launched on July 3, 2026. LINK was to have been the first commercial spacecraft to dock with a government-owned spacecraft that was not designed for docking or on-orbit servicing. However, following ongoing attitude control problems, Katalyst abandoned the boost attempt, and is simply conducting rendezvous and proximity tests around Swift while their spacecraft remains in orbit.
