I'll see if I can get back to this tonight. -Ravedave (talk) 19:14, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
this article is strangely devoid of any technical details. Is that information secret or notr available due to classification? Wefa (talk) 16:24, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

this article: http://www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/2014/03201000-iceisee-3-update-amateurs.html Indicates that it could not be shut down because the of the used (very large) dish lacked transmit capabilities at a frequency that matched any of the satellite receiving frequencies. I'm not sure which contact this reference is about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.89.63.47 (talk) 20:24, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
There is a different story of the mission posted here that should probably be added to the article --134.61.100.25 (talk) 07:30, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
Nasa's mission site: http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/profile.cfm?Sort=Target&Target=SolarSys&MCode=ISEEICE&Display=ReadMore clearly indicates 479kg as spacecraft mass — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.7.114.2 (talk) 07:57, 2014 May 22 (UTC)
reboot team failed to recapture the craft. i have made small edits detailing the physical impossibility of their "plan B" for the craft. would someone be willing to consolidate and clarify the exact reasons and math showing the reboot team are arguably lying, at best misrepresenting the facts and physics involved with "plan B"?
in addition do we have anything other than twitter posts to use as reference to financial backers being displeased with the lack of transparency in the project?

Removed from article: "The assertation that the team will be able to continue to actively monitor the craft as it leaves the Earth, without the use of any large dish such as at the Arecibo Observatory, is dubious at best due to the inverse-square law affecting reception of signals from the craft. It is additionally categorically impossible to command the craft without availability of a suitable large aperture, high power, transmitting dish such as the Arecibo Observatory or the Deep Space Network. In addition, it is unlikely that NASA will extend further lease to command the craft after the failure to re-insert into the L1 halo orbit as this was one of the original contract terms."

these are not uncited assertions, the page for the inver-square law is itself a spoken citation -0 this is immutable physical LAW. please review wiki policy before reverting edits in the future, and bring up a deletion request for consensus here on the talk page before making further changes. if need be i will request protection on the article to prevent fanboy-ing for the reboot project. TIA for abiding policy in good faith. 66.87.115.199 (talk) 18:55, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
I added a sourced paragraph addressing in part the doubts raised by the removed text. According to the source, the team is not claiming it can receive data and send commands throughout the ISEE-3's orbit, but rather that it will do as much as it can. And they have generated tremendous good will, so occasional support if needed from Arecibo, NASA or others can't be ruled out. We can update the article as things progress. --agr (talk) 01:28, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
Anon editor 66.87.114.183 reverted my edit, saying "WP:EW [Edit Warring] please discuss further edits via talk page, user appears biased." I confess this confuses me; as 1) this was my first edit to this particular text, and 2) I'm not sure what bias the anon detected in what was meant simply to be a minor copyedit. Here's the original ("On September 25th, contact with the probe was lost. Due to uncertainty in the exact exact orbit of the probe it is unknown if contact can be reestablished.") and here's my edited version ("On September 25, contact with the probe was lost. Its exact orbit is uncertain and it is unknown whether contact can be reestablished.") Anonymous editor, care to offer more explanation? PRRfan (talk) 18:16, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
