The\u00a0ISEE-3 Reboot Project<\/a>\u00a0(see earlier post<\/a>)\u00a0is now talking with the spacecraft :<\/span><\/p>\n

We Are Now In Command of the ISEE-3 Spacecraft<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

First Contact with ISEE-3 was achieved at the Arecibo Radio Observatory in Puerto Rico. We would not have been able to achieve this effort without the gracious assistance provided by the entire staff at Arecibo. In addition to the staff at Arecibo, our team included simultaneous listening and analysis support by AMSAT-DL at the Bochum Observatory in Germany, the Space Science Center at Morehead State University in Kentucky, and the SETI Institute’s Allen Telescope Array in California.<\/p>\n

Of course this effort would not have been possible without the assistance of NASA and the Space Act Agreement crafted by NASA Headquarters, NASA Ames Research center, and the System Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute (SSERVI).<\/p>\n

For further information on the ISEE-3 Reboot Project please visit our website at\u00a0http:\/\/spacecollege.org\/isee3<\/a>\u00a0A much more detailed description of our First Contact efforts and future plans will be published on our website next week.<\/p>\n
