The ISEE-3 Reboot Project successfully established communications with the old ISEE-3 space probe
The ISEE-3 Reboot Project announced that the team succeeded in establishing two-way communication with the ISEE-3 (International Sun / Earth Explorer 3) space probe, also known as ICE (International Cometary Explorer). In the coming days they’ll assess the state of operation of the various systems of this probe that now is 36 years old. This is necessary to understand the best way to try to reactivate its engines and bring it to an orbit near the Earth, the same it left more than thirty years ago.
