Scientists have finally been able to contact the out-of-control Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), which went missing in June. After receiving sporadic information from the spacecraft, engineers managed to send radio commands to divert power from the solar array to SOHO's on-board batteries. The craft had previously been drained of power when its arrays had moved away from the Sun. After the batteries had been recharged, NASA officials persuaded the craft to send details of its system status. The next obstacle in the craft's recovery will be to thaw out SOHO's frozen fuel tanks.
