This information from Emily is amazing.

ICE is alive and may perhaps be assigned to a new mission. blink.gif

I was wondering about the capture itself. Would a delta-v of 150m/s be enough to recapture ICE into Earth orbit (possibly with a Galileo-style Moon flyby)? I dont think the craft was designed for aerocapture, and aerobraking it from a highly elliptical orbit into a more normal orbit may get rid of any cometary evidence on the craft. And then the bigger question: what is going to actually capture the craft? The Shuttles supposedly stop flying 4 years before ICE returns to Earth.

Note to self: keep 2014/2015/2016 free of appointments. Will be a busy time: Dawn, Rosetta, New Horizons, possibly MSL, ExoMars, Juno ... EDIT and of course: ICE!

For a moment, it sounded like you were citing an EDIT spacecraft. I figured it out quickly, but... the concept of an EDIT spacecraft is interesting. Here's a potential mission description:

"The EDIT spacecraft will be sent to a variety of celestial targets that have already been visited by other space probes. EDIT's mission is to adjust the data returned by these earlier missions to make them conform with our own theories."
