Echoing Ton,
Wow this is so exciting!
For the controls team to suggest they have "multiple options" to re-establish comms on a satellite launched in the 70s that is appx. 133AU from earth is truly astounding.

Makes me giddy to think about satellites launched recently and in the near future and how well they may fair in comparison.
