  12 +ESA's first deep space mission, Giotto was designed to help solve the mysteries
  13 +surrounding Comet Halley by passing as close as possible to the comet's nucleus,
  14 +which it achieved on 14 March 1986 at a distance of just under 600 km. No-one
  15 +expected the spacecraft to survive its battering from comet dust during this encounter,
  16 +but although Giotto was damaged during the flyby, most of its instruments remained operational.
  17 +The mission was extended to allow a additional encounter with comet Grigg-Skjellerup on 10 July 1992, at a
  18 +distance of around 200 km.

  10 + <Description>The International Cometary Explorer (ICE) spacecraft (designed and launched as the
  11 + International Sun/Earth Explorer 3 (ISEE-3) satellite), was launched August 12, 1978,
  12 + into a heliocentric orbit. It was one of three spacecraft, along with the mother/daughter pair
  13 + of ISEE-1 and ISEE-2, built for the International Sun-Earth Explorer (ISEE) program, a
  14 + joint effort by NASA and ESRO/ESA to study the interaction between the Earth's magnetic field
  15 + and the solar wind.
  16 +
  17 +ISEE-3 was the first spacecraft to be placed in a halo orbit at the L1 Earth-Sun Lagrangian point.
  18 +Renamed ICE, it became the first spacecraft to visit a comet, passing through the tail of Comet Giacobini-Zinner
  19 +within about 7,800 km of the nucleus. NASA suspended routine contact with ISEE-3 in 1997, and made brief status
  20 +checks in 1999 and 2008.
  21 +
  22 +On May 29, 2014, two-way communication with the spacecraft was reestablished by the ISEE-3 Reboot Project,
  23 +an unofficial group[4] with support from the Skycorp company. On July 2, 2014, they fired the thrusters for the
  24 +first time since 1987. However, later firings of the thrusters failed, apparently due to a lack of nitrogen
  25 +pressurant in the fuel tanks.[8][9] The project team will pursue an alternative plan to use the spacecraft to
  26 +"collect scientific data and send it back to Earth.</Description>
