This information from Emily is amazing.
http://www.planetary.org/blog/article/00001673/ ICE is alive and may perhaps be assigned to a new mission. |

Has anyone looked over where ICE has been hanging out for the last 10 years?? Some seedy bar in the asteroid belt, or soaking up some rays around Venus ?? I smell a story ! |

Has anyone looked over where ICE has been hanging out for the last 10 years?? Some seedy bar in the asteroid belt, or soaking up some rays around Venus ?? I seem to remember that calculations around the time of its end of mission already showed that it would return to the vicinity of earth somewhere around 2008-2009 and might even be captured once again into earth orbit (more or less similar to what happened to the Apollo 12 SIV-b stage). Did a quick check to find this source but couldn't find it so I might be wrong or mistake it with Giotto... |
