TL;DR: The X-ray telescope on board the Swift satellite for gamma-ray burst astronomy has been exposed to the radiation of the space environment since launch in November 2004, with the generation of dark current and charge trapping sites that result in degradation of the spectral resolution and an increase of the instrumental background as mentioned in this paper.
