Any weblinks where we can learn something about the where-abouts of ICE/ISEE ( International Comet Explorer / International Sun Earth Explorer ) as the craft was expected to return to Earth in 2014?

Great article, thanks. It's amazing (to me) that I can read the thing and think, "oh yeah, 1978 launch, clearly amazing/impossible/jawdropping." And then I recall that the Voyagers were launched in 1977, though they are RTG powered. I can't seem to find the longevity record for solar power.
