The crowdsourced effort to re-establish communication with ISEE-3 was a spectacular event enabled, amongst all, by serendipitous trajectory, that brought the probe near Earth after 35 years travel, and still mostly working.

Are trajectories of any other ongoing or finished missions expected to provide similar opportunities in the future?

David Dickinson seems to be an accomplished amateur astronomer. He enjoys looking at any dot in the sky :-) Btw, can we invent a smiley which looks through a telescope? $\endgroup$
