We Are Now In Command of the ISEE-3 Spacecraft

This is pretty amazing, We Are Now In Command of the ISEE-3 Spacecraft "The ISEE-3 Reboot Project is pleased to announce that our team has established two-way communication with the ISEE-3 spacecraft and has begun commanding it to perform specific functions. Over the coming days and weeks our team will make an assessment of the spacecraft's overall health and refine the techniques required to fire its engines and bring it back to an orbit near Earth. First Contact with ISEE-3 was achieved at the Arecibo Radio Observatory in Puerto Rico."
