For the first time, NASA (http://mashable.com/category/nasa/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) has agreed to work with a group of citizen scientists to resurrect a spacecraft the agency is ** longer using and has ** plans to use again.
NASA an**unced (http://www.nasa.gov/press/2014/may/nasa-signs-agreement-with-citizen-scientists-attempting-to-communicate-with-old/#.U34rpJRdXVR) that the agency has signed a **n-Reimbursable Space Act Agreement (NRSAA) with Skycorp, Inc. (http://www.skycorpinc.com/Skycorp/Home.html), a space systems company based in Los Gatos, California, on Wednesday
The NRSAA allows Skycorp, Inc., to attempt to communicate with and possibly control the International Sun-Earth Explorer-3 (ISEE-3) spacecraft.

The ISEE-3 was launched in 1978 to study solar winds streaming to Earth — it completed this primary mission in 1981. NASA then redirected the spacecraft to observe comets with the remaining fuel and instruments. After completing that second mission, the ISEE-3 was put into orbit around the Sun. NASA ended the ISEE-3's second mission on May 5, 1997 and shut down the spacecraft Read more...
