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

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