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?

I just hope that they don't try any truly absurd grandstanding. That ridiculous statement about ISEE-3 possibly colliding with Earth-orbiting sats still really sticks in my craw.
The right thing to do here would be to use this exercise as an EPO tool to inform people about the very interesting & too often unappreciated field of spacecraft command & control. I'd honestly love to read a book about their efforts when it's all over. But if they or some individual(s) among them try to portray their efforts as anything but doing something very cool for the sheer fun of it that'll definitely cross a line. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
