I have a small tangential role in this mission.  At Goddard we're providing a backup mission operations center for Swift, engineering support for RPO, etc.  I got to see some checkout pictures from the Link spacecraft, but unfortunately I cannot share them.  I can however share some images from the support room.  There is an early engineering model of Link in this room.  And LEGO models of both Swift and Link. 🙂
